South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley proposes five bills in his 2024 legislative priority package. One of them concerns the criminalization of the use and possession of xylazine.

Xylazine is a drug used by veterinarians as a tranquilizer for livestock. It can be abused when cut into fentanyl.

Jackley discusses why he says it's time to schedule xylazine. Plus, he unpacks the current meth and fentanyl numbers.
