Surely this is a dicey path for any drug user? To think that there can be any financial gain for the supplier is difficult to imagine too, although some users will pay the elevated price. Even experienced or ‘intelligent’ users must surely think twice. There again, maybe it is circulating to meet only one specific and very terminal need.

Another sad story. But for us, something very useable for the students! So many stories of acute mixed drug intoxication these days. Explaining the metabolism and toxicology of one is difficult enough!
