Inviting Tranq Users to Call the Show
from The Tim Dillon Show #335 · #335
2 min
Tim wraps up the tranq segment by weighing the pros and cons of the drug and invites any listeners who use tranq to come on the show via Zoom to describe the experience, then signs off.
- A woman described tranq as a narcotic nightmare where she blacked out completely and moved like a chameleon before seeking detox.
- Suppliers are mixing tranq into an already deadly fentanyl supply; users develop necrotic skin lesions that signal they're on the new street drug.
- A mental health professional claims she uses tranq occasionally and can do it responsibly.
- Tranq is xylazine, a tranquilizer strong enough for horses; mixed with fentanyl it produces dancing and euphoria before a sudden zombie-like trance.
- Tim won't tell people what to do for fun because they need to figure it out themselves.
- The downsides of tranq potentially outweigh the dancing and euphoria, but Tim leaves the decision to individual users.
- Tim invites tranq users to call in via Zoom to describe what the drug is like, as long as they stay out of the studio.
