There’s been some clean stuff recently tested at DrugsData, legitimately just heroin. Bought from a darknet vendor in Canada. I imagine that’s INSANELY rare.
I just did some very light research and did find this graph.
Appears to depict H becoming safer and safer over time. The deaths from heroin are about what they were from methadone 20 years ago. (Ignoring all methodological issues in determining "cause of death".)
I expect this is basically due to how impossible heroin is to get, perhaps the only users left over are those with the ability to obtain a very good supply. Whereas 95% people are stuck with the other stuff.

That’s terrifying.
Ya it's always a re-shock to see how dramatic things are. that graph is based on this chart
death from any opiod - total:
death from Synthetic opioids other than methadone:
nice work FDA
They dont actually care about saving lives they just care about making it look like they give a shit while causing a much bigger issue. Now theres more deaths than ever just so they can use it as another boogyman instead of making safer alternatives.
Or you know just making life better for everyone so people dont have to do opiates to cope.
