Community leaders looking to battle drug usage and addiction continue to speak out about the dangers of tranq. So far, it’s come to light that tranq is being blended with other substances, such as cocaine, fentanyl, and heroin. That means someone can unknowingly ingest it and pay dearly as a result.

Tranq, when used properly, soothes animals as needed. Unfortunately, as more individuals consume this drug, overdose rates are skyrocketing. Though, the aforementioned laws backed by the California governor won’t adversely impact veterinarians needing to use tranq for work purposes.

In additional public remarks, Newsom stated on top of cracking down against tranq abuses, California is likewise continuing its work with individuals struggling to overcome drug abuse and addiction.
