Tranq is a cattle tranquiliser, and is mixed by dealers into existing street drug supplies. A year ago officials thought it only existed - but now it's been detected in all but two US states and has now been labelled a 'grave threat' by the White house

In Philadelphia, I wanted to see how the users and volunteers I'd met back in February were doing and what they made of a major new"action plan" that President Biden has asked his officials to initiate.

The hopelessness here is breathtaking. There are people openly injecting on every street corner; far more than back in February, for sure.Their addiction is more powerful than the recognition to treat the wounds which appear all over their bodies. Access to treatment - both physical and mental - is so hard. And there is so little in the way of a safety net in America.Users must navigate America's complex and expensive health system if they are to stand a real chance of recovery.

"I'm glad they're finally implementing something. I just hope that the implementation is fast enough and it's the correct one. Most people here have either mental health or trauma that's been in their life," Ronnie told me.
