Heroin is derived trom Opium and is an extremely dangerous and potent narcotic, since it causes physical and psychological dependence. Overdoses of HORSE (known as OD) frequently result in death. Drug enforcement officials in Atlanta are concerned about new illegal shipments of a more potent heroin, which is white in lieu of brown in color. The new high grade white heroin is mostly from Iran and Afghanistan and is replacing the less pure brown heroin from Mexico. In addition to our losing out drug agents in these coun tries, their governments no longer control the flow of opium and heroin out of their coun tries. The purer HORSE, drug of ficials fear, will cause more overdose deaths and result in new users becoming “hooked” quicker. The new white heroin is between 5 and 6percentpure,as compared to the 1 to 2 percent pure brown heroin from Mexico.
