Well it seems that fentanyl is being sold on the streets again in the city this time on the southside rather than the westside, I posted some info about the first time it showed up a few months back: here

Again is re-emerges killing 12 this time. Thats what happens when you mix a super potent illicit [most likely in this case] opiate with greedy street corner drug trade, they need to hire a scientist or rather me to properly prepare thier product for market. One of my friends OD this past Friday, I didnt ask where he scored but maybe he got his fingers into this. He was by himself and soon as he injected he knew something wasnt right he couldnt hear at all his hearing was just gone, quickly he called 911 and he sat in the hospital for 3 days with his heart and lung surrounded by water fluid or some crazy shit. He is out now, thank god but on a bunch of meds mainly steroids, inhalers and the likes as his last OD he passed out for awhile till his g/f found him and the way he passed out a blood clot formed on/in his lung and I think I talked about this before as I am veering off topic.
Here is one of the original story’s:

Police: 12 Dead From Tainted Heroin
Killer Drugs Purchased On South Side

POSTED: 7:00 am CST February 6, 2006

CHICAGO — Chicago police are investigating the deaths of 12 people who may have died from tainted heroin.

Investigators saw a pattern of overdose among people who recently purchased heroin along the same stretch of South State Street, between 27th and 29th streets.

Police warned that some drug dealers might be selling fentanyl, a drug used by cancer patients that is many times stronger than morphine, instead of heroin.

NBC5’s Amy Jacobson reported that two of the victims were friends from Galena who drove 160 miles to purchase the heroin. On Jan. 25 the two were found inside their car, dead of a drug overdose.

Josh Suplis, 21, was found dead in the passenger’s seat of the car. His 23-year-old friend, Justin Jobjen, was in the driver’s seat with the syringe still stuck in his arm.

Jacobson spoke with Jobjen’s father, Randy Jobjen, who told the reporter that he wants whoever sold these drugs to be charged with murder.

“If they’re doing that, that’s more like murder than it is drug overdose,” he said.

Police told the grieving father that they were suspicious about the drug being tainted after finding the two men.

Toxicology reports to determine exactly what was wrong with the dose are expected in 6 to 8 weeks, Jacobson said.

Chicago detectives told her that “this happens everyday.” Young people drive in from the suburbs and purchase drugs on the West and South Sides.

According to the Chicago Sun Times, the victims were between the ages of 21 and 40. All of them lived in the city.

Assistant Deputy Superintendent Charles Williams said drug dealers might be stealing the fentanyl and passing it off as heroin. [me- cops are so stupid, the only possible pharmacuetical preperation that would make this even remotely possible is large amounts of Fentanyl Citrate evaporated off to get a powder, HIGHLY unlikely. Dumb asses its a illicit batch of fentanyl manufactured in a lab intended for this exact reason. Do your police work and catch the chemist if you can, hehehe.]
Police said the tainted drugs could show up anywhere in the Chicago area.
