I have never seen tar here in chicago or back east in new york. Never ever, do they have tar here in Chicago? Have no experience with the south side, but i think i knoe the west side pretty well, just never ever seen or even heard of it being available here in town. Whats it like compared to powder? If they are both of same percentage of cut, is one or the other more potent gram to gram? Always thought and heard that tar was second to powder in terms of quality, but if i am wrong lemme know!! I have spent many many days researching this shit, the tar is basically heroin that has not been refined as far as the powder base has. And also, tar doesnt get imported into usa from afgani or asia, only comes from Mexico and maybr a few other south american countries.
