I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

The United States men’s basketball team will look to return to very familiar territory this summer when it takes the court at the Summer Olympics in Paris. The team is seeking to defend its gold medal it won at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. In fact, the men’s squad has won 16 gold medals, the most of any country in history.
