So far, another topic potentially demonetized by UKposts. This is a shame because my team put a lot of work into this video, and I think that it is a topic that needs to be discussed. Hopefully, my appeal will be successful. If you want to see a more detailed discussion of the medical effects, check out the interview with a paramedic that will go live after this video: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/iZd6oayOhqlnl58.html

Honestly youtube needs to stop demonetizing stuff like this. Information is the best tool to help PREVENT people from ever getting near this, and letting parents know what they need to be watchful for. Knowledge shouldn't be discouraged, it should be shared as much as possible. Thank you.

As a physician myself, this is insane that UKposts demonetized this video. Shame on you UKposts. Seriously. Why?

I’m a veterinarian and in the past have used xylazine commonly for procedures in pets , farm animals and wildlife. We do have a reversal agent for xylazine. Commonly we use yohimbine or atipamezole I don’t know if it’s been trialled for use in humans but vets find it pretty reliable and effective. Maybe it’s something can be researched for these poor souls.

As a RN I’ve cared for patients with necrotizing fasciitis. It’s scary and very aggressive. This drug is terrifying, the don’t care attitude is even scarier.

I almost lost both of my legs from necrosis from the knee down. IM COVERED in scar tissue. My entire hip, a palm sized area on my stomach, and both of my legs from the knee down to my ankle are solid scar tissue. I needed 16 surgeries within 2 years to save my legs. I'm 7 months clean today and im walking. Thank you for speaking About this!!!!❤️

As a veterinarian myself who uses xylazine like drugs (a2 agonists) daily when performing surgery or other sedation this is a terrible drug to abuse. Based on the dose sedation happens relatively quickly(+/- 5-15 mins when injected IM or near instantly when injected IV) and has strong CNS depressive effects as you explained in the video. One important side effect of a2 agonists in animals is vasoconstriction, to me this might be what is leading to those horrible skin leasions. Reduced bloodflow to the skin either causing ischemia or slowing your immune system from getting to an infection on time. This is usually worst in the extremities where most people seem to have lesions. For animals we have registered antagonists(antidotes) in the form of atipamezole (Sedastop, Antisedan etc.). These drugs work just as fast to stop the sedation in an animal when injected IM(5-15 mins). While there is some transfer over mucous membranes to me, a nasal spray like Narcan for opioids is not possible for xylazine(at least not at the moment and not to my knowledge). A2 agonists are also not considered to be the safest sedation options having a lot more side effects and are therefore not used in young, old or sick patients. Seeing how most drug addicts would fall in these groups the use of this drug is very dangerous.

I am a recovered addict of 41 years. This stuff would have been my demise. (PCP and black tar heroin were the drug of choice in the early 70’s) People have no idea until it’s too late and the cost to family’s in heartache and to society in general is unmeasurable.

I remember telling doctors and nurses about tranq many years ago bc you'd still be horrifically sick despite the detox meds. They blew us off assuming that we were trying to get extra. A lot of people including myself ended up crawling out of detox to find relief despite the obvious ramifications. I'm grateful the medical community is finally recognizing this poison being put in our poison. They need to adjust the standard detox protocols so they can try to mediate how devastating the detox is from that tranq. Good luck of you're still out there looking for the next one. If I can do it I truly believe anyone can do it :)

I'm sorry you got demonitized. I appreciate the information and I think it's important to get the word out far and wide from medical professionals on these types of issues.

2 years and 17days clean & sober today! This WITHDRAWAL was hands down the hardest and the longest withdrawal i ever experienced! Im glad i had only used this benzodope (what Canada calls tranqdope) for 7 months and in that 7 months I realized I was deteriorating FASTER and more than i had over the entirety of my addiction!! I got out before it took me out!

Hey doctor! I am an emergency physician with over 40 years practice. I so much enjoy your videos I just want to tell you personally how much they mean to me! Thank you so much!

Had a friend ~Britt ~ her mom was a veterinarian. She had access to this drug …. We called it a horse tranquilizer. In the 1960’s she died from it . Rest In Peace Britt🙏

I have been an opiate/opioid addict for 16 years (Almost 8 months clean; putting in entirely different mental effort and it's been exactly what ive lacked) and had some batches that had this in them - without knowledge beforehand. Some of the darkest experiences ive ever been through in my life. If you're ever interested in talking, I'm an open book. Am currebtly brainstorming various ways I can spread awareness. The least i could do and I also have insights most don't live to tell about. I know i could relapse at any point and sill always be an addixt at my core, despite how much mental re(de)-programming i do within myself, but, I've got such fajth in hope in my intentions and methods. Educate yourself, non-stop! Be safe out there, friends!

This has been a plague in Puerto Rico for years. We used to call them zombies. The way they pick on their open wounds is horrifying, they often use the disgust people feel to beg for money along with the stench of their wounds. Its so horrible and getting out of it is so hard. I remember when I used to wait for the bus to go to work in the morning I would talk with a man, never knew his name but he used to take the same bus as me to visit his daughter. He was a recovering addict and he was so proud of himself because his daughter was allowing him to visit her becaue he was getting clean; I felt proud of him too. One day he told me he was going to the states with his daughter. I hope he's ok and that he beat the addiction. Sometimes we didnt know if the addict on the street is on horse anesthesia or heroin; sometimes it was both.

I like this guy, he,s not judgemental or biased and skillfully knowledgeable, he doesn't editorialize like a lot of these doctors with you tube shows

I nearly lost my leg due to a skin ulcer that reached my bone. It is so bad out there. You can smell rotting flesh from about 20 feet away. I would say like 80% of people have some sort of grotesque, ulcerated wound due to these drugs. The hospitals do not know how to properly detox individuals addicted to fentanyl analogues and xylazine. The preexisting protocol is not effective and people are literally dying because they’re so incredibly uncomfortable in the hospital. They leave AMA from local hospitals because the remedy to their illness is merely minutes away. We need to change how we detox patients so that we can treat their infections before they leave. It took me two years, in and out of hospitals, to get clean. Finally, a doctor properly medicated me. I will forever be grateful. I would have suffered a below-the-knee amputation without his compassionate, effective, and realistic approach. However, always narcan someone in the event of an overdose. These drugs have synergistic properties. Even if the tranquilizer is narcan-resistant, administer it. I’ve noticed that detox from tranq is very similar to detox from benzodiazepines and I’ve suffered seizures from both. I have never lost anyone to an overdose who has been promptly treated for their overdose. This is not a hopeless situation, but many, many, many changes need to be made. Everyone, stay safe. Edit: detox protocol needs to be modified to include a ketamine-fentanyl taper and comfort meds as needed. It is the only way to keep patients truly comfortable. Right now, hospitals can only start you on 25mg of methadone. Sometimes 30mg. It is virtually useless. I received 6mg of dilaudid every four hours and 4mg of klonopin with it. Without it, I was so sick. You really need quite the cocktail to make it through. Trust me, no one is drug-seeking when their bone is showing beneath a pit of black flesh. We want to get better. We want to stay. It’s hard to when you’re vomiting nonstop and choking on it. When you’re shaking constantly. Sweating through your clothing and saturating the bed sheets. People really need to know what is going on before it ends up in their backyard. It will eat your limbs away. I know a young man named TJ who lost both his legs and one arm. He’s no longer with us.

This makes me feel very blessed that I stopped using heroin when I did. It would have just been a matter of time and I most likely would be living this instead of learning this info on UKposts. Thank you Dr. Raynor for doing what you do. And to those in the comments that are fighting addiction. My prayers are with you. You can beat this.

I use to use opioids a lot, up until my wife got pregnant with our first child. Using made me feel like I was Superman and made me literally feel like I could do anything. When I stopped, I literally went cold Turkey, and wasn’t until years later after talking with a medical professional that I found out how that was the wrong move to just quit so suddenly. After I put it down, I experienced severe abdominal pains, really bad diarrhea, depression, lost interest in just about everything and I had something happen that I thought was linked to something else turns out what I was experiencing was literally a extreme withdrawal symptom that could have killed me. The thing I experienced was literally like extreme anxiety. First time it happened I thought it was from the marijuana I had been using to kinda help me along, so I put that down also, but the incidents kept occurring. This is exactly what I experienced. I would first feel like I’m freezing, and I would feel as if every muscle in my body was seizing up, including my chest more accurately my heart, which would cause me to literally become so paranoid that my heart would go from what felt like 0 to 100. Every time I moved didn’t matter if it was a small moment or big movement I would shake uncontrollably, and it would be hard to breathe. I would sweat bad also. These episodes would last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour or more. Sometimes I would even get a real bad headache. Sometimes the headache would come on first and sometimes it would come at the end of whatever was happening. I later explained this to a medical professional because I wanted to know what the he’ll-was happening to me. He literally said this. That I was experiencing major withdrawal. That the times I was like that I was literally at deaths door. I was told that at any point during these incidents that I could have experienced major heart failure and that I’m literally lucky to be alive. Now I knew I would experience withdrawal and that it would be scary and difficult, but I was not prepared for all that happened. I should’ve went and seen a medical professional when I decided to come off all the opioid painkillers I was using, because just flat out quitting literally could have killed me. I’m now 5 and a half years clean. I still have moments when my stomach wants to cramp and still have depressive episodes but not the major symptoms I had been experiencing. Feels good to be clean and back on track. Sorry for the long comment but this kinda hit home for me as a former user.

My heart goes out to those who are fighting their battles against addiction, stay strong and know there’s people in your corner that want to see you live your best life.

i hope only the best for people struggling with addiction. i haven’t had personal experience to share but you deserve kindness, help, and comfort through hard times

I’ve been through the medical opioid crisis. I am 70 years old with chronic pain. The issue is that the withdrawal process is so long and so horrific, that many people can not make it through. I get why they don’t. The withdrawal Itself becomes overwhelming at some point. No sleep, no appetite or vomiting, night sweats, fevers, and for me; complete restlessness even though your dog tired was the worst and it goes on for over a month. In the end you are no longer looking for the release the meds give you, your only looking to survive the ‘sickness’ of withdrawing.

I am not in the field, nor do I or anyone I know do drugs, but I was glued to this content! Thanks for stimulating the brain.

As a veterinarian, I use xylazine on patients everyday. I do, however, routinely use atropine or glycopyrolate to keep the heart rate and blood pressure supported.I am puzzled by the statement “there is no known reversal agent”. Yohimbine reverses it very nicely. If I want to wake a patient up, Yohimbine IV will wake them up in 1 to 3 minutes. Even IM Yohimbine works well. Also, I am puzzled by the tissue and skin necrosis in humans. I administer xylazine IM in fractious patients, and I have never seen sloughing. Even when given accidentally subcutaneously when attempting to administer it IV, I don’t get skin or tissue sloughing. I’m sure, though, that drug abusers aren’t exactly using aseptic technique. Also, human skin is supplied with blood in a different pattern than animal skin is. Human skin receives blood from subdermal supply evenly (largely) over the whole body. Animals have areas of skin supplied by regional arterial supply. Those factors plus possible interaction with heroin or fentanyl could be a factor as well. Having used it on patients ranging from kittens to horses and cattle, I am startled sometimes at how the dosing differs from species to species. A 40 lb dog can be sedated with 0.2cc of large animal xylazine (100mg/ml), but that same amount can drop a 1,000 lb cow on the ground. A horse requires 5cc for sedation. After 30 years of practice, I was always worried that it would someday be abused by humans. Sadly, that day has arrived.

As a paramedic, I appreciate all your videos for their education value as well as entertainment. If only the National Registry could be convinced they are worthy of CE's. Many thanks for the great content.

I ended up using this at the time unknowingly knowing what it was and it's extremely dangerous. I would basically live in comatose state and this was no life. 😢 I wouldn't remember passing out that by far was one of the scariest thing to go through. Even though I was only snoring it I found out it's flesh eating 😮When I finally found out It scared me so much I stopped. I found out threw a news page and remember recognizing it 😢 it's not an opioid so narcone does not work to reverse the overdose. It's so messed up all the garage that's out there and that lifestyle is so scary. Due to my deadly state of sleeping I couldn't function in the end I lost my apartment. Thank God I'm clean now and I hope to help many addict's and raise the awareness of xylaxine by speaking in drug rehabilitation centers and mental institutions. R.I.P. to those who lost the battle to this deadly disease. To those suffering just know that there's always hope as long as you have life. 🙏 😇

I am a recently retired vet tech. In the early days we used xylazine as a sedative for dogs. That drug make them completely whacked out and it was eventually phased out in favor of more calming sedation. I cannot imagine a human on that drug. It's insane.

I couldn't imagine being a paramedic within Philadelphia or any large city. I worked as one for a county outside of Baltimore and it was so terrible I left and now serve in a more rural setting which has its own challenges as there isnt a hospital within a five minute ride. I gotta give that girl some credit for being on the frontlines of this nasty epidemic.

I am a retired cop/medic, wow the times have changed. During my career, I dealt with LSD, PCP, Heroin, Cocaine, and Meth. I could not imagine twenty years ago the drug issues that medical and law enforcement personnel are now dealing with!

Why would UKposts demonitize an educational video. I'm an OR nurse and find this information incredibly beneficial.

I'm a recovering fentanyl addict of almost 2 years. I've been an addict since I was 14 and got clean at 29. Unfortunately, about 85% of addicts will never recover, and most will die from OD. Our country does not have a great system in place for recovery, and even then, most addicts do not have the will to get clean because it is the hardest and most painful thing an addict will go through. It is horrible to see, but it is the harsh reality of addiction.

Thank you. This is a very informative segment. I'm a recovering IV drug addict and have been dealing with chronic wounds for years related to my extensive IV drug use. I stopped using before xylazine became prevalent, and my ulcers date back to 2018 and earlier so i dont think they're xylazine-induced. I'm really glad this stuff wasn't around when I was using. One wound on my left foot has been open for the majority of the last 5 years. I've been through 5 hospitals, 3 wound care centers, and at least 15-20 specialists over that time, with little lasting success. Unfortunately, by the time you've damaged your body to the point of developing wounds, the damage may be done, and even if you stop, you may be stuck with a semi-permanent chronic wound for years. Due to my extensive injecting, I have essentially no viable veins from shoulder to fingertips or thigh to ankle. The last several times I've had to have an IV put in, they were forced to use my jugular vein as there were no other options. For patients with extremely poor veins, it seems like IV antibiotics might be a challenge to administer, and I'm sure xylazine doesn't help..

😮😮 It's crazy how resilient drug addicts are. They'll be going about with necrotic tissue, missing body parts and still go about their day seeking their next high with zero medical help. Meanwhile, some people eat raw sea food and they're in a coma and dead under a week, despite medical help.😅

This new tranq epidemic is absolutely terrifying. As a former opiate addict, I would never wish withdrawals on my worst enemy. People who judge addicts don't understand its not about getting high, its about keeping "the sick" away. Anyone struggling with addiction, stay strong,. You can kick it and life is so much more beautiful when not "medicated ".

I’m glad i watched this. Very informative, i had no idea things like this were out there. Thank you, my head is out of the sand.

What bothers me as a zoologist and former veterinary student is, if humans report xylazine making them feel so horrible, why are we ok administering it to animals?

Xylazine is definitely the scariest I have heard of. I hope this gets monetized again it's great way to educate people on this kind of thing. You and your team did a great job on this video

Unfortunately the more difficult and expensive the "'Usual" drugs are to get, the more people turn to lesser known and more dangerous drugs.

I’m really glad you are raising awareness on this issue

Good work Dr. Chris.

Well that was terrifying. As a former addict it's awful what degredation of our bodies (and souls) we'll accept to feed the addiction.

Every single topic you cover, you always make sure to tackle more than just the medicine and I for one think that’s so powerful and helpful. Thank you for taking time to make these educational posts, it’s fascinating stuff!!

I was extremely impressed with the amount of information you presented. Definitely important to know about this drug which is turning people into ‘zombies’. As a retired Behavior Therapist and Substance Abuse Counselor, I appreciated your insight into this drug. Thank You for taking Your time to share this valuable information! 😊

I can remember seeing a video on vice many years ago and the drug was called “krokidill”, I remember thinking it’s a matter of time before it gets here. I’m so incredibly thankful I got clean when I did this life isn’t it. There’s so many recourses out there to help a person to get clean and begin to repair their lives. ❤ Also I’d like to add that yes opioid withdrawal is like the worst flu symptoms but also in my opinion it’s much worse because for me it was the mental anguish that was the worst,the physical side was very bad but that was hardest for me.

my little brother almost died from tranq laced dope in New Jersey. He went totally septic. It took him 11 months in the hospital to recover

"You feel like you're gonna die." Aint no feeling...you ARE going to die form this thing.

Dr. Raynor, thank you for this excellent description of this horrific substance. 👍👍I wish UKposts would smarten up and realize these type of videos are vital!

I love that you give an introduction to the video/topic and then you preface the rest of the video with the research you've done on the topic. Citing sources done right!

I experienced what I can only call blackout depression after getting off Oxycontin. I was devoid of any form of emotion. Felt 100% dead inside and detached from everything familiar. It had been prescribed by a doctor when I was hospitalized. He continued the drug for several years then suddenly cut me off when I moved an hour away. I had no idea what I was in for. It drove me to the streets and I ended up on heroin for about 90 days before having a serious overdose that kept me in the ICU for three days. That was more than 20 years ago now. Today I'm alive in Christ

Never heard any of this, but society needs people like you bringing the issue and information to awareness, with professionalism and compassion. This stuff is not algorithm-friendly, but society appreciates

Thanks for shedding light on this

Thank you for addressing this. And thank you for pronouncing fentanyl properly. For those in the MSM who don’t know, it’s not fentan-all. Thanks for explaining all of this.

Thanks for keeping us informed! Keep up the good work! Education is priceless.

I struggled with addiction for 14 years and it nearly took my life before I was ready to recieve the neccessary help to find a new life for my self. And in there lies the hard truth behind any salvation. Once you are caught in it, you have to reach your own personal lowest low before you are ready/capable of accepting the fact that you are no longer in control of your own life and thus willing to accept others to help you get back up. In my time I've seen several people die, simply because they could not accept that what they where doing was killing them.

Thanks for the info. I found myself on a click-bait driven rabbit trail into some of the darkest parts of society this morning. Curiosity demanded I learn what the heck is going on, and your video really covered this particular new drug problem in America really well. Terrifying. Its one of those topics I think I would rather stay blissfully unaware of, but its probably good to have some basic knowledge about it. Praying for all those dealing with these drug addictions, both the addicts and the professionals trying to help them.

Oh. We're animals, Allright. Thank you for making this video. 💜 This plague is so horrific. I'm so blessed I quit drugs.

Thanks for making this. I used fentanyl for 6 years, and starting in february tranq flooded my city. Ive been sober for two months, and its because of the blackouts! I lost so much because of the blackouts! The stuff scares me, please warn people!!

Just wanted to say thanks for covering these difficult and unpopular topics even if you get demonitized. I feel that these are very important topics that need to be discussed

This is a great video. Very easy to understand and so much information about this issue. Thank you!

Amazing vid Doctor, its was really informative.

Thank you for sharing this wealth of crucial info with us all. My best friend John died 2/12/23 from this exact shit. He had NO symptoms, no sores, nothing like that, but caught a hot batch. He was 60 and only using it for back pain after surgeries. Sadly I helped him with subs the year before, but he was stubborn and chased that f-ing "high" HE IS NOW DECEASED!

Please do a collaboration with Chubbyemu. You two are my favorite medical UKpostsrs.

Ty! Very informative! BEYOND AWESOME WHAT YOUR DOING!✌️

Brilliant! Thank you for your hard work and great information. Peace

In the same way that drama UKpostsrs reacting to drama UKpostsrs makes their content worse, doctors reacting to doctors makes it so much better! The explanations and interjections are so helpful in understanding this issue, thanks!

You aren’t prepared to recognize septic shock until you see septic shock. Its way more wacky then you expect. Imagine desperately trying to get fluids into someone and most of their veins blow up because they are leaking so much. 60 over dead and lower! It is terrifying!

Thank you for the informative video Dr. Raynor. I’m sorry that youtube continues to demonetize important work such as this.

Your videos are very informative, entertaining, and your thorough explanation for the average viewer is what makes your chanel one of a kind.

I’m a very anxious person, and I adore videos like this. Every day it seems there’s something to be very fearful of, but thankfully there’s medical professionals out there to explain what’s happening, what we should avoid, and what we should look out for. UKposts needs to stop being so harsh on educational content.

this has quickly become one of my favorite channel.. I love learning and most of all hearing correct information. Thank you Dr.Raynor, I truly wish you could be the doc helping me with my back. Im on the 3rd doctor and it EXTREMELY frustrating because all the docs here seem to care about is me not feeling pain, which is great but I still dont even know what is even wrong with my back besides some "minor" arthritis. For 3.5 years ive been dealing with pain on and off and so much tightness in my lower extremities and I am over it... anyways thanks again doc, we all love and appreciate you

This is so informative!!! Fantastic video; I love this kind of content!🌻🌼🐝

Great video, thank you for spreading this information. Hopefully it will help people understand the damage these drugs are doing.

Tranq is the hot thing in Portland. You could literally see the difference in the junkies as it took over.

Dr Raynor, thank you for this very informative video on xylazine. I’m an old school Veterinary Nurse and yes we used xylazine for horses because it was reversible with Tolazoline, which is very important when dealing with horses, but we used it daily with cats. It was used in cats with ketamine as a safe intramuscular anaesthetic for knock out (always harder doing IV’s on cats with many claws and teeth) then they were intubated and maintained on gas anaesthesia and oxygen. It is crazy to me now that not only Ketamine has been out there as a street drug for a long time but now Xylazine as well. Is the necrosis occurring in humans because it’s it’s only meant for animal use? I wasn’t sure why because it wasn’t happening at the injection sites. We did not have any problems like that in either cats or horses. Dogs were given different anaesthetics. Is there any reason why the reversal agent used in animals - Tolazoline, can not be used or has not been tried in overdose cases in humans? Or is it because there are too many drugs in the person’s system at the time? I’m just curious more than anything? Again, I really appreciate the video and the information that you’ve put out. I think people need to understand this.

....Why the **** would this get demonized? Creators like you are how I learn while I'm on the go. Your videos are not disrespectful, they're well researched, AND they're professional. We SHOULD be able to support your content and use these videos to inform ourselves and others. With all due respect... UKposts needs to grow a pair.

New Sub! Great video! Gonna look through the rest of your vids!

Four years ago I was hooked on Ketamine. My habit had built up from my teens, all through my 20's and into my 30's. From the outside my life looked stable - I was married, working full time and happy. Yet I was doing 4-5 grams a day and 'topping up' in the bathroom at work, just to make it through shifts. Quitting K was the hardest thing I ever did and I have never looked back once. Now I look at these people and I know that quitting for them is worse than anything I ever went through and I feel deep compassion and sympathy. No one is immune to the drugs. If any of us lived their lives, we would be addicted too. I just wish more was being done to help these people.

This reminds me of the drug street named "Crocodile" in Russia. At least the addiction, method of use, effect, and side effects are very similar. Particularly the necrosis of the extremities.

Hey there, I want to tell you that I had a near death experience with this horrible death drug, yeah "trank" or xlezine or however it's spelled. I got what I usually would do (heroin bag wise) and probably a half hour later, i was pretty much unresponsive according to my friend that was here with me. I was so totally out of it, I felt like I ate like 15 xanaxes . If my friend didn't keep talking to me every minute then I have no doubt I would of died. This was the worst feeling, and Narcan doesn't work. Thank God I have people that care and walked me through this. I can tell you from experience this "tranq" is nothing to mess with. I'm just grateful to still be alive.

This was so informative!! Thank you for sharing this very important information. I intend to share this video with others I work with in Healthcare.🙏

And really I'm a nurse I have no idea why they demonetized you this is like taking a class in my nursing school! I love my cirujano ortopédico!

Amazing work sir thank you for all your hard work.

Thanks for making this video. Such much more informative than the last documentary the algorithm showed me. Your video is what youtube is made for. Thanks for taking the time, i’m sure it took a ton of work.

Your segments are always very informative. Thank you. I don't understand UKposts policy. Raising awareness on addiction and what is on the street should be important to everyone.

I appreciate your videos. You’re a very knowledgeable person regardless of being an MD/ surgeon you are extremely intelligent but not condescending and seem to have lots of understanding and compassion as well. Definitely exactly how I wish all doctors were. Interesting and compelling video topics also

We never had issues like this back when drugs like opium were legal, or when doctors actually prescribed pills.

Very informative. Nice to see important medical and science information presented in a clear manner. Thanks.

Great presentation, Dr… you studied well! Good job

Very valuable information. Thanks for the hard work.

and I remember when angel dust was the scariest thing in the universe, dang!

Thank you for sharing your research and education

Thank you for informing the people about this drug , !

Thank you for informing about this new street drug. Never heard of it, but heroin, fentynal and other drugs are already so bad. Praying for all the addicts who use this unknowingly and also praying for a solution to drug addiction and suffering.

Wow this really hits home i was a heroin addict 5 years clean no alcohol or weed i stopped it all so there is hope. As a man what kept me in the cycle of drugs was not having a career or skill. Once i went to school to be a welder it gave me a sense of pride and self worth. I was even a Christian while on heroin that alone didn't help, for men we have to feel useful or there is no reason to live. If you know a man on drugs who has no skill in life this maybe the root cause. I understand this is not the case with all drug addicts though. Definitely pray for these people they are absolutely miserable and hurting inside

Great info I am a worker in the addictions field and I am always looking for current information to share with my colleagues to help our clients. Thank you

Subscribed! Awesome video!

Currently 4 days off fentanyl, thankfully xylazine isn't in my area yet, that I know of. Thr stupid thing was I was already on Suboxone but i just had to go and mess up. I'm getting there, thanks for the informative video!

Had never heard of this compound or it’s widespread use in the country. Pretty sad to hear that people are using this either purposefully or accidental ingestion. Thanks for covering this serious topic. Appreciate you covering this but also more light hearted content like the space marine videos.

Fantastic run down! 👍 Thx!

Just saw this on german news about Philadelphia having an epidemic of laced drugs and needed an explanation what this is. You video is great :)
