From
NewsWest9.com (Amarillo, TX):
There is a new drug that is causing concern in Amarillo.
Some officials say liquid
heroin could become as popular as marijuana for the younger generation.
The liquid heroin they have heard of is in south Texas high schools, and Director of Safe Schools, Healthy Students, Melynn Huntley says they are concerned because the drug is very inexpensive and easy to hide.
Huntley says the drug is mixed with water and then either swallowed or snorted, and often kept in clear bottles.
"If you were looking for this, you would look in Visine bottles or some other little small bottles. It does have a brown tint to it, it is not totally clean because it is with the brown heroin to begin with. It is not going to look like Visine, it would just be in that kind of container."
And we talked with local law enforcement who say they have not seen or heard of liquid heroin in our area yet...but it is a drug they are looking out for.
