Police warns BC addicts of ultra potent heroin

VANCOUVER — Ultra-potent heroin is threatening the lives of addicts across B.C.
The B.C. Coroners Service has issued a warning after the number of heroin-related deaths across Metro Vancouver doubled in the first four months of this year.
Twenty people died between January and April, compared to 10 over the same period last year and eight in 2008.
Vince Stancato of the Coroners Service says the number of confirmed deaths, provincially, has reached 21 but that number may climb as toxicology results are received following several other recent deaths around B.C.
RCMP warn the current batch of street heroin packs twice the potency, putting users at risk of overdose and death if they ingest what they believe is their usual dose.

It's because you are correct, they couldn't give a fuck.

Actually, warning heroin addicts about extremely potent heroin has a reverse effect.
I saw an interview where a heroin addict stated that hearing about someone over dosing on a particular batch actually made all the junkies want it. According to the addict, this was because they were all looking for the best they could find...even if it meant they could possibly die.

Yes, but at least they know to take less than their usual does, therefore saving a life. The unintended consequence here is the increased sales made by the dealer.

I dropped from this batch on April 15 in Abbotsford, just outside of Vancouver. A shot of Narcan brought me around.
This stuff is insanely strong. It's light tan hard rocky shit. Half a point & it's lights out. I think it's 2-3 times stronger than the powder dope that used to be standard. Watch out, heroin fans.

With the DTES in Vancouver alone I would expect the deaths from Jan to Apr to far exceed 10-20! That is a shockingly low number for all of BC.

Only 20 people? More people have prolly died of drunk driving in the same period. In the scheme of things doesnt seem like a "high" number compared to the population. O is it really herion, Or is it like fentanyl passes as Herion? That was going around in dallas a while back,killing all kinds of people.

I bet our government only cares because they foot the healthcare bill, and not the individual in question XD
