#1 Nice pic, Fred. Do you know what "black tar heroin" is, and how it's produced? We have a local school where a dozen or so students have been arrested for using or dealing in it. Wonder if it came from Afghanistan?

#2 I guess the student and faculty got into some of the 2.5 tonnes of weed and simply walked away from the school--maybe giggling some as they walked away.

#3 OP, 'black tar' is heroin that's been crudely processed. Used to come mainly from Mexican labs that were set up by newbies, now from a couple places including Afghanistan according to a friend of mine who works the drugs beat in NY. Purity / potencies vary, but can be relatively high these days. Occasionally people die from the contaminants.

#4 does it really matter what kind of heroin you are using or dealing in? Heroin is pretty hard core in any case

#5 Dunno for certain but I suspect black tar from Mexico is probably not as strong, pure or potent as some of the stuff from Asia.
