Feds seize 1.4 metric tons of liquid heroin in Oregon, arrest 4 linked to Mexico-based drug trafficking ring
370 gallons of liquid heroin seized in Tigard, Oregon
February 4, 2024 11:05am EST Four suspected drug traffickers with links to an international crime ring in Mexico were arrested in Oregon with multiple barrels of liquid heroin inside a moving truck, authorities said Thursday.
The bust happened on Jan. 25 at a motel in Tigard after investigators learned that several individuals who allegedly worked for the drug trafficking operation were hauling a load of illegal narcotics into Oregon, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Oregon said in a news release.
Authorities tailed a rented moving truck driven by one of the suspects that was accompanied by a red pickup truck west on I-84 near Bonneville until they arrived at the motel, officials said.
After obtaining federal search warrants for the vehicles and the suspects’ motel room, investigators found eight 55-gallon barrels containing 370 gallons of liquid narcotics inside the moving truck and two loaded handguns inside the room, according to prosecutors.

Damn I really didn't even think herion was sold in such quantities anymore. Like I knew it's still around in some circles but seems to be just so much fent out there. And I'm not talking like news stories I have friends who use to be or currently junkies. They all say most people seek out fent these days as the herion isn't strong enough to make em nod once they have that fent tolerance.
Wonder how much herion it actually would be once dried/ whatever they gotta do to it.

These stupid fucks. They are busting huge hauls of heroin. Meanwhile Portland is drowning in the fent crisis. Wonder why?? Maybe if the junkies had their fix they wouldn't pump that cartel made killing ass trash in their veinz

I mean I somewhat agree with the sentiment but quite alot I'd even say most of the addicts out there seek out fent now as herion isn't strong enough nor cheap enough. Sucks it got to this point but fent isn't going away for a while in my opinion.

I've never been a user so truly don't have any first account revelations on it. But I've heard from others (users) that heroin may not be as strong but that it has a high that is much better than a fent high.. Guessing I figured junkies would rather have their junk instead of a potent substitute.. But maybe now it has gotten so bad it has to be fent bc it has tore up tolerances so badly
