Disturbing Footage Shows Fentanyl Users in Zombie-like State on San Francisco Streets

A shocking video from downtown San Francisco captures individuals standing motionless or swaying in broad daylight. Experts link this “zombie-like” posture to heavy opioid use, especially fentanyl, which can cause muscle control loss and semi-consciousness. The scenes were filmed in areas like the Tenderloin district, now at the heart of the city’s drug and homelessness crisis. According to a report by a major U.S. tabloid, such visible intoxication – sometimes called the “fentanyl fold” – has become more common as synthetic opioids flood urban centers.
