Watch: Zombie drug addicts fill inside Canadian bus station, causes concern over use of flesh-rotting drug

Scary footage has emerged of zoned-out drug addicts filling a bus station in Canada and behaving like zombies who have lost control over themselves, which hinted that they have consumed the flesh-rotting drug called “tranq.”

In the viral video, the seven addicts can be seen gathered in a small room at Clareview bus station in Edmonton.

A few of them were seen lying on the benches completely knocked out or lying on the floor in an unconscious state as their belongings remained strewn around.

However, two of them appeared upright as their semi-conscious bodies twisted and bent while they staggered.

Looking at their awkward body positions, it was clear that they had consumed xylazine, which is a flesh-rotting zombie drug and is also called as “tranq”.

Here's how netizens reacted to viral video of zombie drug addicts

When this drug entered the drug supply chain of North America, it left many of its users in bad shape across cities from New York to Los Angeles, according to many online users.

However, few people said that these people can be on methadone, which is a drug used for treating those addicted to opioids but can lead to severe drowsiness.

Meanwhile, others suggested that it appeared these people were on heroin or fentanyl - or a mix of the two - because of which they had frozen in spine-tingling positions.

“I know people will shoot up, but they’ll get up for some reason and then the heroin/fentanyl really kicks in,” wrote one user.

“Thus, they are kind of frozen standing up doing the ‘heroin hunch.’ Plus, some people shoot up while standing, so the drug kicks in real fast and they are kind of stuck in place,” said another.

However, another person suggested that these people may have mixed two types of drugs.

“I’ve had it explained to me as a blend of opiate and speed, so that your body is trying to nod off under the opiates, but your central nervous system is reacting to the amphetamines and trying to keep you moving, thus the bent-over bobbing,” said a user, according to the Daily Mail.

Some of the netizens were angry seeing such addicts roaming at the bus stand and said that they should “die, lock up or quit.”

However, others felt sympathetic towards them. “I feel for them, even though what they’re doing is f–ked up,” said a former opioid user.

“Worst part is, you cannot force them to get clean. They have to want it … and many don’t truly mean it when they say, ‘I want to get clean.’ Such a sad thing," he added.

Some residents also raised concerns regarding the safety of the public transport in the wake of such drug addicts gathering at the bus stand.

“Public transit is unsafe, this is where this video was recorded. You can’t get into the downtown high-rise businesses without being buzzed in,” said a commenter.

“Security guards and safe walking plans in place, but still people getting attacked and murdered by drug addicts and parolees out from our insanely lenient in-out justice system. Still, people live and work in these areas and have to deal with this on a daily basis," he added.
