The substance xylazine, sometimes referred to as "tranq," "tranq dope," and "zombie drug," causes sedative-like side effects such as severe tiredness and respiratory depression. The substance's usage has become well-known for its crippling effects on users, their inability to stand, the rise in emergency department visits, and the resulting worries about public safety.
