Another reason we do not do drugs.

[SAMWolf]

Thinning the herd?

[ConservativeMind]

It’s interesting to hear something of quality can come from that hell hole.

[RinaseaofDs]

The Mexicans aren’t stupid. They’re going to have to step on this stuff a little more. They are killing off their customer base.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Think of the savings!

[ConservativeMind]

Actually, this will help get rid of the demand problem here in the US.

[The_Reader_David]

Not very good business practice that, killing your customers.

But seriously, folks, the danger of overdose which this highlights is actually one of the harms of keeping psychoactive substances illegal: no quality control.

ultra-potent heroin that sells for as little as $10 a bag and is so pure it can kill unsuspecting users instantly

Someone didn't read the label? "Uncut" wasn't printed clearly?

There should be stricter packaging regulations, obviously.

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Well lets let a lot that stuff in and solve our drug problems.

[Christian_Capitalist]

Tragic. Somebody oughtta pass a law against heroin usage.

[Ingtar]

Self-correcting problem?

[ConservativeMind]

We’ll have idiots on FR now say, “If only we offered this stuff for free, people wouldn’t be (insert your stupid phrase of choice here: dying from it, helping organized crime, destroying the environment, picking their nose...)”

[theDentist]

I know this sounds harsh, but it’s like a marketing ploy...
Get some real pure stuff out there, and the addicts, who are already dancing with Death, will seek it out... looking for that more potent high, sure that ‘they’ will not OD.

[libstripper]

Having seen in my own family the wanton damage a junkie can do, I hope as many of these scum get the hot shots as possible, includng the one of my acquaintance.

[Mark was here]

... and this is a problem because?

[Oldpuppymax]

And this is bad....how?

[Venturer]

This stuff is so strong it kills and right now Dopers all over the country are trying to buy it.

If you believe this stuff being so potent it kills will stop Dopers from looking for it you are wrong. They are looking all over or it so they buy it cheap and cut it to suit themselves. They arent worried about their lives, only their habit.

[Sloth]

Cheap, ultra-pure heroin kills instantly

I like the sound of it, but it doesn't seem that good for repeat business.

[Onelifetogive]

Is the world worse off with fewer people who would actually inject themselves with heroin?

[Interesting Times]

Sure. Mexican heroin dealers are known for giving their customers 100% pure product, instead of stepping on it heavily so they can make five times the money.

If this stuff is killing customers, it isn’t because it’s “pure,” it’s because they cut it with something lethal.

You’d think even the AP would have an editor who could figure that out.
