Stateissuesemergencyclassificationof‘Tranq’ascontrolledsubstance

DelawareSecretaryofStateJeff Bullockhasplacedxylazine,also knownas“Tranq”—anon-opioid drugusedprimarilyinveterinary medicine—inScheduleIIIofthe UniformControlledSubstanceAct. Tranq,officialssaid,hasbeenused increasinglyasanadditiveinopioid abusetocreatea“zombie-like”conditionforusers.

Bullock’sactionsfollowarecommendationfromtheDelawareControlledSubstanceAdvisory CommitteeonMay5toadoptan emergencyregulationplacingxylazineinScheduledIIItoprotect thepublicandaddressthedangers posedbythedrug.

“Xylazineisapowerfulanimal sedativewithbeneficialusesinveterinarymedicine.Butwhenabused bypeople,theconsequencescanbe devastating.Thisorderisnotdesignedtointerferewiththelegitimateveterinaryusesofxylazinebut canhelptoreduceitsabuseas ‘tranq’whenit’susedbyhumans, oftenasanadditiveinopioid abuse,”saidBullock.“Thisorder willallowstateandfederalpolicymakersthetimeneededtoidentify permanentsolutionstothegrowing problemofxylazineabuseinour communities.”

Knownunderthestreetnames “tranq,”“tranqdope,”“sleepcut,” “Phillydope”and“zombiedrug,” xylazinehasnotbeenapprovedfor humanuse.TheU.S.Food&Drug Administrationhaswarnedthatthe animalsedativeisnotsafeforusein humansandmayresultinserious andlife-threateningsideeffects. Whenusedinconjunctionwithan opioid,xylazinemayworsenrespiratorydepressionintheeventofa drugoverdose.Xylazineusemaybe accompaniedbyskinulcerswith woundsthatsecretepuss,decaying tissueandbacterialinfectionsthat canleadtoamputationsathigher ratesthanotherinjectabledrugs.

Sincexylazineisnotanopioid, opioid-reversingmedicationssuch asnaloxone(Narcan)willnotreversetheeffectsofxylazineitself. Thereiscurrentlynoknownantidoteorreversalagentforxylazine overdoseinhumans.However, naloxonecanstillbeeffectiveinreversingtheeffectsoftheparticular opioidinvolvedandshouldstillbe administeredifsymptomsconsistentwithpossibleopioidoverdose arepresent.

AccordingtotheU.S.DrugEnforcementAdministration,the emergenceofxylazineacrossthe UnitedStateshasfollowedthesame pathasfentanyl,startinginthe Northeastandthenspreadingtothe Southandworkingitswayinto drugmarketswestward.Between 2020and2021,theuseofxylazine roseinallfourU.S.censusregions, mostnotablyintheSouth(193percent)andtheWest(112percent).

Thelowcostofxylazinehasalso contributedtoxylazine’sincreased presenceinthenation’sillegaldrug supply,officialsnoted.

Section4717ofTitle16ofthe DelawareCodeestablishesthat “[t]heSecretary[ofState]shall placeasubstanceinScheduleIIIif theSecretaryfindsthat:(1)The substancehasapotentialforabuse lessthanthesubstanceslistedin SchedulesIandII;(2)ThesubstancehascurrentlyacceptedmedicaluseintreatmentintheUnited States;and(3)Abuseofthesubstancemayleadtomoderateorlow physicaldependenceorhighpsychologicaldependence.”Further, emergencyregulationsmaybe promulgatedpursuanttotheAdministrativeProceduresAct,solong
