State of Addiction: Tackling the growing, dangerous xylazine epidemic

Xylazine, a veterinary drug, is increasingly mixed with fentanyl, making street drugs more dangerous, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
In 2024, Xylazine was found in over one-third of fentanyl powder seized by law enforcement, highlighting its prevalence in drug trafficking.
Legislation to classify Xylazine as a controlled substance has been proposed by Congressman Jimmy Panetta to help combat its spread.
Harm reduction experts emphasize the need for rescue breaths during Xylazine-related overdoses, as naloxone is ineffective against the drug.
