[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Exclusive pictures of Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia - long known as 'ground zero' for the city's drug epidemic - reveal a shocking scene of drug devastation

  • Many addicts are injecting themselves in broad daylight and lying passed out in the streets, with gruesome sores on their arms and legs

  • More than 90 percent of the heroin now found in Philadelphia contains xylazine, or 'tranq', which was developed in 1962 as an anesthetic for veterinary procedures

  • its use on the streets has soared since the pandemic, and causes a blackout stupor along with deep festering wounds that frequently lead to amputations
