Not only were some people unaware they could die from taking heroin, now they’re naming the bags and you have to know a bag’s name to determine whether or not it’s likely to kill you!

Powerful Heroin Blamed for OD Deaths

Fri Apr 21, 9:23 PM ET

Authorities are warning of a lethal type of heroin being sold in the Camden area after at least six apparent overdose deaths and close to two dozen hospitalizations since last week.

From Thursday to Friday afternoon alone, one person died and about 20 suffered nonfatal drug overdoses in the area, said Bill Shralow, a spokesman for the Camden County prosecutor’s office. He said it appeared most of the problems stemmed from the heroin.

Most of the drugs were believed to have been bought from street dealers in Camden in bags with names such as Flatline, Monkey, Al Capone and Echo.You must avoid the purchase of bags with such names at all costs! If you don’t know the bag’s name, DO NOT BUY THE BAG!

Prosecutor James P. Lynch said investigators believe that the deaths and overdoses are being caused by unusually powerful heroin, and not by poisonous substances sometimes used to dilute drugs.

“When people buy illegal drugs on the street and ingest them, they really have no idea what they are putting into their bodies,” Lynch said. “As recent events clearly demonstrate, that can be a deadly mistake.”

As opposed to all the legal, prescribed drugs, of course, which never kill or harm anyone!
