Georgia rep urges federal action against "gas station heroin" (tianeptine), banned in GA but still found in convenience store products & online.

A Georgia representative is urging the federal government to take aggressive measures to prevent the sale of a highly addictive substance known as "gas station heroin." Often mixed into products sold at convenience stores, this substance has been linked to overdoses, seizures, and deaths. Despite being banned in Georgia, tianeptine can still be found in stores and online. This dangerous synthetic compound is found in over-the-counter products like Neptune's Fix, Zaza, and Tianna Red, which are promoted as stress relievers and dietary supplements.
