Drug users can be seen passed out on the pavement or injecting
themselves with needles in Philadelphia's open-air drug market

PHILADELPHIA — Dozens of drug users were passed out along the sidewalks
of Kensington Avenue on a gloomy August afternoon. Others stumbled
through incoming traffic in the open-air drug market that's ravaged one
neighborhood in the City of Brotherly Love.

Kensington has gained international infamy for its excessive public drug
consumption. The area has become a hotspot for xylazine — a veterinary
tranquilizer known as the zombie drug or tranq — which was found in over
90% of drug samples tested in Philadelphia in 2021, according to city
data.

In Kensington’s open-air drug market, users were passed out on the
pavement, covered in scabbing or oozing flesh wounds from xylazine with
fresh blood running down their arms from injecting themselves with
needles. Some users were spotted wandering around in a stupor through a
busy road.

THIS PHILADELPHIA NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BECOME GROUND ZERO FOR THE DRUG
EPIDEMIC. WATCH:

One drug user, Gene, told Fox News he had just gotten out of the
hospital after unknowingly taking xylazine. He had bandages on his legs
covering multiple flesh-eating lesions covered in maggots.

The gruesome wounds from tranq can lead to serious infections, including
necrosis, and can sometimes require amputation, according to the Drug
Enforcement Administration. The drug can send its users into a trance or
leave them unconscious for extended time periods, tranq users told Fox
News.

Duffy, another drug user, had a gaping wound on his arm from injecting
tranq. He grew up in Kensington and has never seen the effects of drugs
as extreme as xylazine's.

"It's the worst I've ever seen it," he said.

Xylazine has infiltrated the nation's illicit drug supply, leaving many
addicts unaware that they're injecting a concoction containing tranq.
And since xylazine isn’t an opioid, standard overdose reversal drugs are
ineffective.

Maggie, a 30-year drug user living on the Kensington streets, previously
told Fox News life was much better for users "when it was regular
heroin" ravaging the area. Many of her friends have died from overdoses
as the drugs have become more lethal in recent years, she said.

"I’ve lost a lot of good friends," she said. "People are just dying all
around."

Before xylazine flooded Kensington, the neighborhood was already
struggling to get a hold on the ongoing fentanyl epidemic. Before that,
heroin plagued the drug-ridden community.

Over 200,000 Americans have overdosed and died from synthetic opioids
like fentanyl since 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. In Pennsylvania, one user died of a drug overdose about
every two hours in 2022, with nearly 80% of those deaths involving
fentanyl, state data found.

"I see the drug addiction. You know, I see the drug dealing. I see the
violence. I see the poverty," Frank Rodriguez, a recovering heroin
addict turned local activist, previously told Fox News about Kensington.
"Most of all, I see pain."
