OK, before people flame me like crazy please at least read my post to get an idea of my angle...
I recently was told by an individual that significant amounts meth/amphetamine crystal found in Australia have trace amounts of Heroin in them. When I asked why this was the case (due to EXTREME skepticism) this person went on to explain that when crystalizing the product Heroin was used to seed the crystals.
A few days later I recalled a situation about 18 months ago involving a friend. He smoked 2 points of very good crystal methamphetamine (tested with EZ-Extreme) in around 5 minutes. He had never tried the substance before and clearly did a very silly thing. He ODed and spent a number of days in hospital. During this time he was told by a doctor that blood tests had identified amphetamines and opiates (Heroin) in his body. He was told to get of the drugs and was discharged. I didn't see the results of the blood test but other friends apparently were shown them on a printout.
Now to my question; is it standard procedure to blood test young OD victims when no one knows what they took? Also if it is standard would he have been given the results as he claims he was?
If the answer to the above is affirmative could it be possible that some crystal meth/amphetamine contains TRACE amounts of heroin for the reasons stated in paragraph one.
I have some chem. knowledge and no clandestine chem. knowledge so try not to be hard on me. The only reason I even considered asking was because of the small amount of evidence I could find supporting the claim.
Thank you
