Tracking Xylazine Sources: New International Drug Control Reporting Requirements.

This law aims to enhance public safety by improving the monitoring of dangerous substances in international trade. It requires the US government to identify countries that are significant sources of xylazine, commonly known as "Tranq," in the annual International Narcotics Control Strategy Report. Better tracking of this substance, often mixed with fentanyl, is intended to help limit its availability and reduce fatal overdoses in communities.
Key points
The US government must now track and report which countries are the primary suppliers of xylazine (Tranq) globally.
Xylazine, a dangerous animal tranquilizer, is increasingly mixed with illegal drugs, raising health and safety risks for citizens.
