A disturbing video has gone viral on social media, showing a man in Medellín exhibiting bizarre, zombie-like behavior, struggling to stand, and keep his eyes open under a metro station. Online spectators have linked his actions to the influence of Fentanyl, a powerful opioid known colloquially as the “zombie drug,” based on similar behaviors observed in individuals in the United States and Spain.
While it’s unverified whether the man was indeed under the influence of Fentanyl, the incident has sparked alarm among citizens, anxious that the dangerous drug may have found its way into the city’s illegal drug trade. The concerning episode prompts reflections and comments from netizens about the potential societal and health impacts, with expressions of sorrow and calls for protection of the youth against such perilous substances.
