Episode Details

Medetomidine, a veterinary tranquilizer, is surging in Albertas street drugs, posing a significant challenge as naloxone fails to reverse its effects. Experts report a sharp increase since December, with samples often mixed with fentanyl and benzos, complicating overdoses. While no deaths have been linked to it yet, officials urge immediate medical attention if naloxone doesnt work, as heart rates under fifty beats a minute could indicate a serious issue. Despite overall opioid fatalities dropping, the situation remains critical, emphasizing the need for all available tools and safe spaces to adapt to the evolving drug landscape.
