Warning: Bad dope going around

[Tar_Baby]

Fair warning to those in Texas and New Mexico ( and I dont know how far of a radius outward)
Theres a shitload of black tar that hit about a month ago and its infected with bacteria bad and cooking it wont kill it.
I have personally had 3 severe abscesses drained in about 4 weeks..and I know of at least 8 other people here with them. Also Talked to someone in new mexico and its there as well..
The only way you can really tell this particular dope is it smells vaguely like burnt motor oil ( along with usual vinegar/heroin smell)
Anyway be careful guys..I know people gotta do what they gotta do to maintain but be careful..if you start to get abscesses when you shouldnt ( IE: you didnt miss the vein) or your veins start to collapse real fast its that shit...smell it before you do it and if it smells like motor oil watch out.
Peace...Tar Baby

Hey thanks a lot for the info Tar, even though I don't shoot and am not in the area. In the mind of community spirit, awesome of you to tell us. Also, these places are just the first stop for a lot of dope. This same dope could be heading to a needle near you, so watch out...

I agree Duke and whilst I don't even live in the US I would be grateful for similar information about bad gear if it was in my area. What I'm trying to say is its good we're sharing information, thats what its all about, take care everyone. Laters Poppyx

Hey, what kind of disease does it cause? An infection thing, with nerve damage?

Because here we have a warning for Black Tar heroin, too.

Bacterial infections are what its causing..severe abscesses..
Ive had abscesses before but this is rampant and not like normal.. My lymph glands in my armpits swelled to golfball size in a matter of hours..
Seems the dope is infected with staph bacteria.
Now I know that everyday tar will cause an abscess if you miss the vein sometimes( most times it will) But this stuff is rotting people, literally... one shot vein disentegration, huge abscesses that are fever hot with infection..
Ive been shooting tar for 14 years on and off and I know dope..I use clean needles and always shoot alone at home...
Anyway I havent used heroin since X mas day because of this and just got out of the hospital.
Im also a methadone patient and our clinic has seen an outbreak of infections from this black tar.

Yes, thats exactly, what the stuff here does. The scientific name is something with botulism or so, I think.

Probably a part of the batch from mex found its way to western Germany, cologne ... lol. Small world.

That's why these warnings are good! Especially close to the border. I imagine that same dope will be all over the world.

Yikes, sorry to hear about your friend (assuming its a friend). My best wishes to him or her. I've never used H, and I don't use needles, yet I'm nervous (mostly for others I suppose.) The way you describe this makes it sound like the verge of an epidemic. I hope that's not the case.
