The Coroner of Lake County, Illinois [Dr. Richard Keller] was gracious enough to mention a comment I left him on his blog concerning a topic of his: ‘Heroin or is it…?’. In return he was nice enough to reply and link to some of my informamtion concerning the rash of recent OD’s of Fentanyl being passed off as heroin in the Chicago and the outlaying suburbs. He has an informative blog with a good medical approach, I have the link on the sidebar give him a visit.

It was late at night when I posted a comment to him as I have been meaning to do it for days since I read his blog entry. I wish I would have expressed or detailed the issues a little bit more concerning illicit Fentanyl production. It’s risks and the complex methods on how to properly prepare such a potent, illicit narcotic for street sales. This is not kitchen chemisty, in order to properly ensure that the active drug [in this case most likely Alpha-methyl fentanyl or 3-methyl fentanyl] is distributed in a equal proportions on its inert carrier takes skill and chemisty knowledge well above that of your average street hoodlum.

If something doesn’t change there is going to be a rash of OD’s this summer on the streets of The Windy City [Chicago]. As its obvious to me that they [dope dealers] have been slowly edging their way into the market place, testing the waters. Unfortunately with consistent and deadly results. I have a feeling its going to be a long hot summer.

Here is the link to his post where he mentions me: link
