One cannot distinguish between heroin and synthetic drugs.
As soon as someone injects synthetic drugs in the vein, it blocks the nerves and causes death.
More than overdose, it is a synthetic drug who claimed the life of the addict.

That’s why, now smugglers make synthetic drugs and sell it to addicts as heroin.
