It seems like there is probably a long history of these cutting agents being extremely toxic. I suppose it makes perfect sense. The person who takes the risk to sell you something illegal doesn't really care about your health.
- aasasd 7y ago> seems like there is probably a long history of these cutting agents being extremely toxic A bit of an understatement, considering literal lead found in ganja (albeit rarely), any kind of dirt in hash, common use of amphetamines instead of psychedelics, and afaik some pretty deadly drugs instead of ‘regular’ opioids. And, I guess, antifreeze in wine if that's not a myth. On one hand, a dead junkie doesn't buy junk anymore. On the other, the choice is often between selling something today or selling nothing, and apparently the short-term view wins.
- frostburg 7y agoThere are actually even more unfortunate incentives. When people die from badly cut heroin (especially if from overdosing due to the presence of fentanyl), the bad batch is often incorrectly assumed to be more potent and pure and as such is sought after, causing more deaths.
