Xylazine used as a heroin adulterant

Does anyone have any experience with heroin that has been cut with xylazine(CAS#7361-61-7)? I recently heard about it from a heroin dealer in the Chicago area and I was curious. So I went home and did a little research on it. According to Wikipedia;

"Xylazine is a drug that is used for sedation, anesthesia, muscle relaxation, and analgesia in animals such as horses, cattle and other non-human mammals. An analogue of clonidine, it is an agonist at the α2 class of adrenergic receptor."

Xylazine is being used as a recreational drug as well and is being used as a cutting agent mainly in Puerto Rico. From what I gather people in Puerto Rico have even begun purchasing it not only when it has been mixed with the heroin but also as pure xylazine(when I say "pure" I mean that people are going out and knowingly buying the xylazine that hasn't been mixed with heroin). From what I have read the xylazine itself is addictive. So the heroin dealers down there are not only supplying the heroin to addicts but they are also getting people addicted to another drug. I found a video on youtube(National Geographic's Drug's Inc.) about drugs in Puerto Rico and it showed a guy who injects it(he also injects heroin and cocaine). The effects look like a good heroin/opioid high with a good nod. The show also showed a horse that was injected with it and the horse's head went down and it could still walk but it walked slowly and with wobbly legs. It seems to me that this stuff is in the same general category as ketamine(special k).

So basically I'm just wanting to know if anyone has ever tried this stuff or has seen people who use/used it? I'm curious as to the effects of it. I have used ketamine once in my life about 13 years ago and personally I hated the stuff and can't see ever taking it again. Ketamine was a completely different high than heroin/opiates is for me. So if xylazine is like ketamine I would think it would be noticeable if I unknowingly bought some heroin that was cut with the xylazine. But if that's true then how do heroin dealers add it to heroin and still sell it as just heroin? You would think that the customer would notice a completely different high.

I think I'm a bit worried about xylazine and it showing up in heroin. I hope it'ss noticeable and people realize that there is something odd about their dope. I hope it's a high not at all like heroin so people don't get tricked into thinking they are just buying really good heroin when in fact they are buying heroin that has been cut with xylazine and therefore catching another habit(addiction).

So like I said if anyone has any info or experience with this stuff I'd be interested in learning more.

Yup its true, now I don't have an personal experience with it because I don't fuck with that shit. However I was watching an episode of Drugs Inc. on the National Geographic channel it was all about the heroin and coke trade and yes they do indeed cut it mostly the heroin tho with Xylazine. Like you said people buy heroin or coke expecting to it to be that when instead its cut so without realizing it then become addicted to the Xylazine. On the show some people were actually so addicted to it on top of there Heroin/Coke addiction then began using the Xylazine pure they melt it down and shoot it up just like heroin its fucking disgusting imo.

LMFAO...nope I did not like K at all. Like I said I only tried it once. About 13 years ago, when I was 18, I had a apartment and I was the first person in my group of friends to have their own place, everyone else still lived at home with their parent's. Since I had my own place everybody would come over to get away from their parent's and get high and we'd have parties and all that crap. This was before I ever tried heroin so I still used different drugs(cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, etc.). So one day a friend stopped by my apartment and was in the living room while I was in the kitchen with my gf and he called me out to the living room. I go to see what's up and he has a line busted out on the coffee table of a white powder. He tells me I can have it and being a stupid 18 year old kid I take a bill roll it up and snort it up. After I snort it I ask my buddy what I just did and he says "you just did the biggest line of k I've ever seen" and he starts laughing his ass off. So I'm kind of freaking out at this point cause I've never done k and I'm wondering if I'm gonna die or something. At first I didn't feel anything and I'm starting to wonder(and hope) that my buddy got ripped off and the shit I just snorted wasn't k at all but just some white powder like b-12 or something. So I walk back into the kitchen and start talking with my gf again and it's been a few minutes since I snorted it and still nothing. That's when I go to stand up...bad idea. Immediately feel it and it's pulling me down to the ground. Of course my gf got pissed(she didn't know I snorted it when I went into the living room) and ended up leaving and going home. So like I said it felt like gravity was pulling me down to the ground and in order to get back to the living room, so I can sit on the couch, I had to take baby steps. Once I reached the couch and plopped my ass down I felt a little better and by this time other people had arrived at my place to hang out. I noticed that I couldn't understand what people were really saying unless I lay my head down on the couches arm rest. It was as if everyone was mumbling instead of talking but as soon as I rested my head I could understand what people were saying crystal clear. And that's how I spent the next couple hours until I came down. After the "high" was over I just felt really tired and wanted to go to bed. Luckily for me it was a Wednesday and on Wednesday nights the bar two blocks down the road would have dj's come in and play techno and wouldn't card us kids so everybody would go there and drink and party. So everybody left my apartment and I just went to bed.

I have no idea why I just typed that whole story. Long story short...I tried k once...I probably did way to much for my first time...I did not like the high at all.

wow......summarized..........I tried it once, kind of by accident because of a jerk of a friend. It was really intense, and I didn't enjoy it at all, and have no interest in doing it again.

end of story. lol. stoner ramblings :).

I enjoyed it, I tend to like the little stories and tidbits of peoples' lives on sites like this. That must have SUCKED though, I've never tried K, but 2 of my siblings were into it and they often took too much accidentally and didn't really enjoy it at all, even though they were familiar with it, and that's probably less than what you did if that was the biggest line he'd ever seen. Haha, I can imagine not liking that.

I've felt like I was at the helm of a spaceship,rotating every way,hand on a gearshift like one of the rat fink motorcycle paintings/drawings..when I came back to reality about 30mins later I was in my campsite at moutainjam,still in my camp chair..and that was probably my 100th khole at least! More like nmber 200 if u count 'bumps'..the xylazine stuff sounds awesome,but dangerous..that cutting heroin is a nightmare waiting to happen I think...

This Xlazine was being used back in the early 1970's in New York, but it was not available everywhere. I tried it back then I was young bet did not like it

Years ago I had it RX'ed for long term transport of goats , All I can tell you is it worked well for that .

I know of 1 person that claims to have used it, he said it was more like a benzo than K

It seems it is a relative of Clonidine, which is actually used when you withdraw from heroin in the hospital or in some rehabs. When I first went to rehab and got out I went on the net and looked for Clonidine in bulk, I used to get it from india by the 100s. It makes you dip and nod like a mofo. But it is essentially a heart medication used back in the day for High Blood Pressure. Be careful, this shit will have you falling down the stairs.
