USA. Because of the Drug War, There is Virtually No Heroin Without Fentanyl in Many Places
When it comes to the opioid overdose crisis, there is a disconnect between lawmakers and the people they aim to protect, especially if those people are selling heroin. There has been a push to pass harsh penalties against those who provide fentanyl-laced heroin that results in an overdose. Here’s the problem: it’s virtually impossible to find heroin in its pure form. What’s more, people who use heroin have very little control over whether or not their products have been adulterated.
