AP IMPACT: Deadly, ultra-pure heroin arrives in US
May 24 01:51 PM US/Eastern
ALICIA A. CALDWELL (AP) - Associated Press Writers WINFIELD, Mo. 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.
Originally associated with rock stars, hippies and inner-city junkies, heroin in the 1970s was usually smuggled from Asia and the Middle East and was around 5 percent pure.

I don't recall hippies being into heroin.

I heard that members of Pure Prairie league were at one time, if they were hippies.
I hadn't heard of them and after a little Googling, I didn't find anything that showed hippies in general liked heroin.
True hippies also hated cocaine, the yuppie/capitalist drug. But
the lines got blurred.
