Heroin black tar is a sticky form of heroin like tar or hard as coal. The dark color is the result of a rough processing method that leaves dirt. Regardless of its name, black tar heroin can also be dark orange or dark brown. Generally cheaper than other forms of heroin.
Heroin black tar is not pure morphine diacetate. Other heroin forms require additional steps after the purification of acetylation. With Black Tar, the product processing stops immediately after acetylation. However, its unique consistency is caused by acetylation without a reflux device. As in heroin homebake in Australia and New Zealand, the result of acetylation is rough in a sticky mass.
Black Tar as a type holds a mixed-mixed morphine derivative - especially 6-MAM ( 6-monoacetylmorphine ) which is another result of coarse acetylation. The lack of proper reflux during acetylation fails to remove much of the moisture stored in the acetylation agent, glacial acetic acid.
Heroin black tar is often produced in Latin America, and is most commonly found in the western and southern parts of the United States, while also occasionally found in West Africa. It has a consistency that varies depending on manufacturing methods, cutting agents, and moisture levels, ranging in quality from black-brown, staying in an unrefined form to powder, light brown uniform when further processed and cut with lactose.

Composition
Pure morphine and heroin are fine powders. The unique appearance and texture of Tar is due to acetylation without the benefit of the usual reflux apparatus.
The assumption that tar has fewer adulterers and diluents is a misunderstanding. The most common puning is lactose, which is added to the tar by dissolving the two substances in the liquid medium, reheating and filtering, and then recrystallizing. This process is very simple and can be completed in any kitchen without the required level of expertise.
The price per kilogram of black tar heroin has risen from a tenth of South American powder heroin in the mid-1990s to between one and a half and three quarters in 2003 due to increased sharpness distribution combined with increased demand in the traditional nature of black tar. distribution. The distribution of black tar heroin has continued to increase in recent years, while the varieties of east coast powder have fallen; heroin production in Colombia has declined as US-funded efforts to eradicate Colombia's opium fields continue.

Health effects
People who inject heroin black tar are intravenously at higher risk of having venous sclerosis than those who inject heroin powder. Under these conditions, the veins narrowed and hardened which made repeated injections almost impossible. Researchers at UC-San Francisco have found that the speed of black tar heroin destroys the veins, along with the consistency of their chewing gum, can put people who inject them at a lower risk of HIV infection because they may be forced to inject subcutaneously (rather than blood vessels)
The presence of 6-monoacetylcodeine found in heroin tar has not been tested in humans but has been shown to be toxic only and more toxic when mixed with mono- or acetyl morphine potentially making tar more toxic than smooth diamorphine.
At least one study has drawn attention to lower rates of HIV infection among drug injections where black tar heroin is a major form of heroin available on the streets, suggesting that this may be due to the need to heat the heroin black tar to dissolve it (which also disables all HIV in the solution).
However, black tar heroin injections may increase the risk of life-threatening bacterial infections, especially soft-tissue necrosis. The practice of "skin-popping" or subcutaneous injection predisposes to necrotizing fasciitis or necrotizing cellulitis of Clostridium perfringens, whereas deep intramuscular injection predisposes to necrotizing myositis. Injection of heroin tar can also be attributed to Clostridium botulinum infection .
Alternate administration route
In some parts of the United States, especially the lower states, black tar may be the only form of heroin available. Many users do not inject.
- Grind into powder form: This is one of the more popular ways to consume black tar for those who do not want to use a needle. Heroin black tar is put into a kind of blender and mixed with lactose. This creates a fine powder product that can be easily snuffed.
- Water repetition: Water repetition is when the user enters heroin into an empty eye dropper bottle, or a needle with a needle is removed. Users allow heroin completely dissolves into the water and the solution falls into the nose. This can sometimes go to waste if the user allows too many solutions to go to the throat.
- Yawn (Pursuing a dragon): A user puts heroin on a sheet of leaded paper and heats the foil with a match under it. Users use a straw or similar tool and inhale the steam.
- Drink: This is less common because of waste, but performed similarly to the method of water repetition. Instead of being sent through the nose, the solution is swallowed.
- Suppository: The most effective administration route that does not require a needle, is performed by providing a solution (via a syringe) or a mass lubricated from a narcotic deep into the rectum or vagina. This can cause internal bleeding.
