These were always full of water, I promise.
Jokes aside, isn't all tapwater just diluted heroin when you think about it?

So how much of that would you have to drink to get high? Can you get high from drinking it?
Also
The case dates back to January 2024, when four men were arrested at a Motel 6 in Tigard after investigators said they were transporting a massive shipment of liquid heroin from Yakima, Washington, to the Portland area.
Officials said at the time that the men were driving a rented U-Haul truck with eight 55-gallon barrels inside and that seven of the barrels tested positive for heroin. Six men were eventually charged in connection with the case.
What the fuck were they doing driving around barrels of water?
If they're a cop, just tell them it's fentanyl, and they'll pass out as soon as the water touches their skin

Water! Ordinary water!
Laced with nothing more than a few drops of heroin.
Yeah, but it was from a tap so they're committing a crime against Nestle
They got the decoy shipment
Homeoperoin.
Maybe the cops have a false positive on the tests. Maybe they don't want to admit it's a false positive so they don't have to admit they were wrong to arrest them in the first place.
This is gonna be a stupid question but is heroin a liquid? I always assumed it was some sort of crystal
Sooo... it's complicated.
To produce heroin you need a specific species of poppy, called oddly enough an "opium poppy".
You gently slice the heads of the poppy to extract a milky liquid. That's the base for a whole HOST of drugs depending on how you process it, but yes, it starts life as a liquid.
Opium sap -> Morphine -> Heroin.
Man, now I'm envisioning a whole series of black market "How It's Made" videos.
Probably more of a suspension than just a liquid, but chemistry was never my strong suit
It's typically sold as a powder, "cooked up" into a liquid by dissolving in water, then injected.
It has different bases it can be in, depending how its processed or how many steps its processed. Street heroin in america could be water soluble or not depending on location. Sometimes you need to add something to make it react to make it water soluble, other times its already in water soluble form. You need it to be water soluble to snort or inject it.
