CHELYABINSK, Russia — Young men with sores on their arms shuffled up the stairs of a dark, underground shopping arcade and into the daylight to plop dingy wads of rubles into the drug dealers' hands. The dealers casually reached into their pockets or plastic shopping bags and handed over tablets of synthetic morphine, a type also used as a horse tranquilizer, and paper packets that appeared to contain heroin.
Across the street in this gray, post-Soviet industrial town, two Russian policemen sat in a faded wooden booth, and a couple more sat in a police truck outside. They didn't seem the least bit interested.

Your an insult to the human race! You have no idea what you are talking about. It is people like you that spread the word of garbage to put fear in the community. I really doubt that people are really listening to you. Your into being rude, taking a topic about a local man who died turning and twisting the topic into crap. Go away!!

You people that use this site as your soapbox are pathetic at best. This man was doing his job. If you dislike him, or what he stands for, it's because you are a drug abuser yourself. Your lack of compassion for mankind will be your demise. Please continue to cut and paste your articles, mouth breathers.

I'm a citizen of Potter Valley and would give anything to have Forrest back and have him peep and harrass all he wants in the valley. I'm also a citizen who calls the DEA about my neighbors, and likes to throw 2,4-d laced water baloons at outdoor grows.

Maybe in his next reincarnation he'll be a real human being instead of some slippery "special agent". What was his job-making sure the heroine flowed freely to the United States??

Afghanistan identifies cutting agents for heroin,
http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/frontpage/2009/...
22 June 2009 - Many drug dealers, motivated by higher profits, use chemicals to "cut" illicit drugs in order to increase the quantities they can sell to consumers. Some of the chemicals alter the effects of the drugs.
In 2008, the laboratory of the Counter-Narcotics Police of Afghanistan (CNPA), through improved forensic capacities and facilities, was able to identify several pharmacological substances that are typically used for mixing with heroin. These chemicals, usually referred to as cutting agents, include caffeine, chloroquine, phenolphthalein and paracetamol.
Greater understanding of these substances also serves as a reminder that there is a market linked to the illicit drug industry that is frequently overlooked, namely that in cutting agents. This market is lucrative because cutting agents are legal and their trade carries low risk. Increased awareness of their trade could help to enhance drug law enforcement legislation. The CNPA has presented the findings of its analysis of the effects of cutting agents in the World Drug Report 2009.
Caffeine, for example, causes heroin to vaporize at a lower temperature, which may be seen by heroin users who smoke or inhale heroin as a practical benefit of mixing the two substances.
Chloroquine, a well-known antimalarial drug, has been used as a cutting agent for heroin for many years, although it was not previously known to be used in Afghanistan. Chloroquine does not alter the effects of heroin or influence the way in which it is consumed. Its widespread availability, low price, colour and crystalline structure are thought to be some of the reasons for its use. Given chloroquine's close resemblance in appearance and consistency to what is known in South-West Asia as "crystal heroin", it is possible that chloroquine has been marketed on its own, as fake heroin.
Phenolphthalein is used as an acid or base indicator. It has also been used as a laxative for more than a century, but has now been removed from the market because of concerns over its carcinogenicity, i.e., its potential to cause or increase the risk of cancer by altering cellular metabolism. While it has been reported as a cutting agent for heroin in the past, the reasons for its use are not well understood.
Paracetamol is a popular over-the-counter painkiller. It is easy to purchase and relatively cheap. Its mild analgesic properties and bitter taste may disguise heroin of poor quality. The use of paracetamol as a cutting agent for heroin is well documented in many countries and regions.
The reason for adding specific, pharmacologically active substances (so-called adulterants) to heroin remains an area of speculation that can be only partly explained by the pharmacological properties of the substances concerned. However, the findings of the CNPA laboratory suggest that heroin cutting takes place at source and that heroin produced in Afghanistan may be customized for different markets and consumer groups.

No doubt!!!

do you put on that gestapo outfit in the back of your closet when you go out throwing water balloons?

[Uncle Ted]

No, that's reserved for classy functions...I just wear a black jumpuit. Hard to find a black supersoaker for my mix though. Had to spraypaint it.

Sign-up and you know you can die. If this person was military he would have my blessings. But he was a federal NARC a Godless person with no soul fighting for some lost cause in a country he was not welcome. I don't use drugs or condone them.
But have had encounters with gun toting DEA. They love to fly around in armed choppers pointing guns at people. All people and citizens are no more than low class scum to them. America better stay out of Afghanistan. Russia got it's booty kicked as did any other invader all through history.
