Belleville has 6 ambulances.....we can't afford more. The drug is called Tranq.....it's known as the zombie drug. The Americans have been dealing it for the last several yrs.

the ''powerful sedative'' is an animal tranquilizer. It's known as Tranq, the Zombie drug....Americans have been dealing with it for the last several yrs. GP's sure aren't giving it out. Belleville itself has SIX ambulances. We can't afford more.....small city tax money has to go to Toronto to bail them out of whatever crisis they're having at the monent. Cheers anyways!

ps you cannot help Meth addicts. 80% of the treated go back to the drug.

@RemoteEars most ppl don't ....they see what they want to see. It's called ""chasing the dragon'''.....nothing is as good as the first hit of the drug you've chosen to take, but ppl keep trying to get the same effect. This drug is called Tranq.....the zombie drug. Americans have been dealing with it for several yrs....now it's here. The other thing ppl don't understand is that once you're hooked, with some drugs it's almost impossible to get off. Dunno about tranq, but treated Meth addicts have an 80% relapse rate. All the best to you anyways!

@nosnibormailliw5122 dunno about this drug....it's called tranq, the zombie drug......but even well treated Meth addicts go back to Meth about 80% of the time. Small cities like Belleville don't have the funds to treat ppl.....heck, the city only has 6 ambulances!!....because much of our tax money goes to Torotnto to bail them out of whatever crisis they're having at the moment. Small cities are funding TO's transit system while trying to scrape enough together to fund a couple of new buses of their own.
