That's some weak-ass homeopathic heroin, only 5X / 2C (I have no idea if 2.5C would sound nonsensical to a homeopath). Gotta dilute that a lot more times, that's how you make it more potent. Effing 19th century pseudoscience.
A little besides the point, but still: Who would even count lethal doses in the first place? Is that just a scare tactic? Surely they would know enough about the drugs they are enforcing against to know the average or typical dose?
The ATF once seized a shipment of airsoft guns by claiming "they could be modified to shoot real bullets".
The ATF knows how guns work. They know that's an absurd thing to say. They don't make these claims to actually protect anyone.
I think it's about figuring out how many charges to throw at the guys, not that it matters because it's water. LOL.
Surely they would know enough about the drugs
lol these people are fash... don't know, don't care. Just here to put people in cages.
My goodness. Well, folks, we finally did it. We convinced the people in power that dihydrogen monoxide really is deadly.
It kinda sounds like those drums were previously used for heroin or the cops had just kinda framed them entirely by tossing something in water drums.
I grew up in a house with hippie grandparents. When I got older we would always have fun laughing at drug busts stating how much money the agency said was worth. This is just a shame.
Let's start a conspiracy theory. Although these days everything can be true:
It was heroine but someone in the police department syphoned the heroine, replaced with water and agreed with the defendant that they'll get a slap on the wrist if they followed along.
So, now, someone has some heroine on sale!

Joan of Arc?
Celestine. Games Workshop also makes drugs, but they come on plastic runners.
To be fair, they weren’t 99.999% water until after they were blasted into the ocean by a hellfire missile.

The only H in that heroin was for homeopathy
Doing a little napkin math here, that's about a half an ounce of heroin mixed into 385 gallons of water.
That seems more like the 55 gallon drums had previously been filled with heroin, but were drained and refilled with water, and just a little residue was leftover.
Or a false positive to begin with in the cops don't want to admit they made a mistake. False positives are way higher sometimes with Trace Amounts. Plus the drug testing Labs try to give the results the cops want.
I doubt a false positive here. Clearly something weird about the cargo to begin with - what the hell else are a couple of dudes going across states in a uhaul doing with 55 gallon drums of water? The water wars aren’t set to start for another few decades, I think. Not really a commodity that needs to be shipped, and if it were I doubt it would be shipped by uhaul.
I mean seriously, just look at the situation and analyze it with some common sense. ACAB, but not every single interaction with them is a conspiracy.
I think it definitely warrants independent testing of the barrels. It seems pretty odd that the police would be tipped off about barrels with Trace Amounts of heroin in them. Given the authorities' penchent for not admitting when they made a mistake.
It is quite odd otherwise.

Okay, I really want to know why these guys were transporting barrels of water with 0.001% heroin in them. Was it a con? A test run? Barrel re-use? A case of cops not having heroin on hand to frame them?
I'm just baffled as to why you'd be hauling around eight barrels of water and how the trace amounts of heroin got in them.
Is it too far fetched that the cops got rich by replacing the heroin with water? Initial suspects would be happy to go along with the lie just to avoid life in jail.
