Heroin sold as cocaine
Risk assessment
This powder declared as cocaine contains almost no cocaine, but mainly heroin.
If cocaine and heroin are mixed up, the risk of overdosing is high, as heroin is dosed lower than cocaine by nasal administration.
For a person without opioid tolerance, even the consumption of a dose of heroin typical for cocaine can quickly lead to a life-threatening overdose! In addition to nausea and vomiting, an overdose of heroin can lead to respiratory depression. Respiratory depression can be described as a reduced urge to breathe, which can lead to complete respiratory arrest.
Unexpected substances or synthesis by-products are repeatedly found in powders and crystalline samples; it is therefore essential to have these tested before consumption!
