Drug may be stronger than heroin, police say

Chicago police investigators warned illegal drug users Monday that a dangerous batch of narcotics being sold as heroin on the South Side may be a much stronger synthetic drug called fentanyl.

A community alert issued by the narcotics and gang investigation section said police had received information that fentanyl was being sold between 2700 and 3000 blocks of South Dearborn Street near the Dearborn Homes public housing complex.

Fentanyl, a prescription drug often used in anesthesia, is "80 times more powerful than morphine and can be hundreds of times stronger than heroin," police said.

Investigators were trying to make undercover buys Monday near the housing complex, hoping to catch the source of the drug, said Deputy Supt. Charles Williams, who heads the bureau of patrol.

Typically, narcotics investigators would make a series of undercover purchases over time to build a more significant case. But in this instance, the emphasis is to get bad drugs off the street as quickly as possible, Williams said.

In recent weeks, several drug users have overdosed on drugs after paying for heroin from dealers who operate out of the Dearborn Homes area.

A 2004 Roosevelt University study showed that Chicago had more heroin-related emergency room visits than any other city between 1995 and 2000. Updated information suggests the problem has only gotten worse, said Kathleen Kane-Willis, assistant director of Roosevelt's Institute for Metropolitan Affairs.

Judging from federally reported statistics, between 2000 and 2003, the number of people treated for heroin in the Chicago metropolitan area increased 53 percent, she said.

"The number of treatment episodes is increasing at an even more alarming rate than I had thought two years ago," she said.

They call this stuff the UNDERTAKER or LIGHTS OUT on the street - and people willing use this stuff - Grace - you think this is the solution to our drug problem?! Take UNDERTAKER and they will all be dead in no time and all that will be left is the non using capitalists eh Ayn?
