The video discusses the dangers of a street drug called "Xylosing" or "Zalgin", a sedative and addictive substance not approved by any standard. It was initially launched as a medicine for pain relief and sedation in 1962 but was rejected by the FDA due to its severe side effects. Despite this, the company secretly launched it in the market, and it has become a cheap and widely available drug.
The drug affects the brain's dopamine release system, leading to a loss of alertness, and users often experience hallucinations, memory loss, and a lack of understanding of their surroundings. Long-term use can cause the body to rot, leading to the formation of abscesses and gangrene.
The video also shares the story of Brock Pedder, a tattoo artist who became addicted to Zalgin and lost his family due to its use. Despite the risks, he continues to use the drug, and his body is severely affected.
The video explains the science behind how Zalgin works, attacking the alpha 2 receptors in the brain and blocking the production of dopamine, leading to a loss of motivation and control over body movements. It also causes vasoconstriction, leading to a lack of oxygen in the tissues, which can result in damage and gangrene.
The video concludes by warning viewers about the dangers of Zalgin and urging them to be aware of its risks.
