Black tar heroin is increasing its popularity among addicts as Oxycontin prices rise. People addicted to opiates are looking for a cheaper high, naming Oxycontin as a gateway drug.

"Lately, we've been seeing mostly kids getting into heroin," said Newport Beach narcotics Det. Elijah Hayward. "We're seeing it [used] across the spectrum." 42 heroin arrests have been made by Newport Beach’s narcotics unit (mostly for sales) so far this year. Also, 23 arrests have been made for the possession or selling of oxycontin.

My drug of choice was crack. Heroin and Oxycontin sound like really bad news. I'm glad to be out of the drug scene.
