Maybe. But this may have nothing to do with that. I used to work at a shady hotel. We had 3 people die in the span of 6 hours, completely unrelated to each other. All because they bought the same batch of heroin. I'm not an expert in how heroin is made, but the way it was explained to me is that the heroin was made with filler. A substance that acts as heroin, but doesn't get you as high. It's a cost cutting measure so the dealer can make twice as much money with the same supply.

Well what the users do is they do the heroin, DON'T get high, and so they do MORE heroin than they usually do......and then their heart stops because it can't handle so much heroin.

So, this may not be anything government related. This may be more capitolism related.
