The Associated Press: AP IMPACT: Deadly, ultra-pure heroin arrives in US

The Associated Press: AP IMPACT: Deadly, ultra-pure heroin arrives in US: "Mexican drug smugglers are increasingly peddling a form of ultra-potent heroin that sells for as little as $10 a bag and is so pure it can kill unsuspecting users instantly, sometimes before they even remove the syringe from their veins.
An Associated Press review of drug overdose data shows that so-called 'black tar' heroin — named for its dark, gooey consistency — and other forms of the drug are contributing to a spike in overdose deaths across the nation and attracting a new generation of users who are caught off guard by its potency."
