Police Issue Heroin Look Alike Alert
Saturday, April 27, 2013 @ 1:15 PM
Prince George, B.C. – The Prince George RCMP are putting out a blunt warning to heroin users in the community.
Corporal Craig Douglass says police recently became aware of a very powerful drug that has likely been sold as heroin here. Testing was done on one package of drugs seized in Prince George and the result showed the drug to be Fentanyl, a narcotic that is much stronger than heroin. Cpl. Douglass says both police and the drug dealers thought it was heroin because it had the same colour, consistency and packaging.
Several heroin overdose deaths are reported each year in BC and the concern is that the use of Fentanyl will increase the overdose chances substantially. Cpl Douglass says RCMP officers will be getting in touch with known drug users to warn them about the risk.

Let them take it, maybe it will help weed out the idiot population.
I wonder if they have access to a computer to get this information?
They’re people with an illness. Show some Respect
Let me get this straight, we as tax payers are footing the bill to have the RCMP contact known drug users,people that RCMP KNOW participate in illegal activity,to warn them about bad drugs?!?!? Why are we wasting public resources or individuals whose only contribution to society is keeping the RCMP & paramedics busy with the crimes they commit & their overdoses. Arrest these “known users”. They made their choice to use drugs. I can already hear all the “they don’t choose to use, they have an addiction”. Sorry but that is BS. Everyone of those users made a choice at one point or another to take that first hit, or a choice to be in the situation that using was a viable option for them.
Please take some time to education yourself on Addiction before you make such narrow minded comments.
education…should read *educate*
They need more bad batches of heroin out there.
What ever works. We can’t have it in society any longer, bottom line.
