An undetectable deadly new drug has poisoned our home of Tucson Arizona, killing dozens but estimated to have killed hundreds if not thousands worldwide. This new drug is known as N-pyrrolidino etonitazene, street name “Pyro”.
“It’s 100 times more potent than fentanyl,” TPD Lieutenant Mark Jimenez said.
You can find N-pyrrolidino etonitazene in almost any form, this includes any illegal drug you obtain from the street, powder, counterfeit pills, and even vape liquids often marketed deceptively as Xanax, Percocet, MDMA, or ketamine, and sometimes even drinks. N-pyrrolidino etonitazene is not only more deadly but also more addictive than fentanyl. Why is this dangerous? It’s 250 times stronger than heroin, and the reaction to this chemical is instantaneous, causing extreme difficulty to reverse the effects. It causes trouble performing the most basic tasks of walking, talking, and having control of bodily functions. Among these symptoms are pinpoint pupils, discoloration, and most commonly, the inability to stay awake or be woken up. Unfortunately, even repeated Naloxone (Narcan) administration may not always be successful in reviving someone, as witnessed in two recent cases in Texas.
Over sixty percent of deadly overdoses in the U.S. established fentanyl as the main contributor, which is estimated to be nearly 48,422 deaths per year, if not more. N-pyrrolidino etonitazene was made in 1950. This synthetic opioid was made for potential analytics in pharmaceutical industries and was hijacked to become what it is known as today. However, no medical literature or documentation has been recovered from the creation of the chemical. Now that we know just how dangerous it is, here are some preventative measures you can take to ensure you or someone you love is not affected.
