Xylazine, also known as “tranq,” has been on our streets since April, according to our state Department of Health. But lately it’s apparently become more prevalent in the metro.
“If our city is to mimic the history of other cities, there is a chance this could come in and stay in the drug supply for a long time,” said Ashley Charzuk, cofounder of the New Mexico Harm Reduction Collaboration.
The New Mexico Harm Reduction Collaboration is a nonprofit providing resources to drug users, including safe syringes, Narcan, and testing strips.
