Name: The Spotlight: A new warning about Xylazine

Description: Cartels have figured out how to make the "zombie drug" even scarier: Xylazine, the base ingredient used to make tranq, has previously been seen mixed into other drugs because it amplifies the effects. Now, it is being sold on the streets as a standalone drug. Naloxone, or Narcan, does not work if someone overdoses on Xylazine because it is not an opioid.
