The biggest new market for this heroin are people addicted to Oxycodone, an opiate pain reliever available in dozens of drugs by prescription.

Combunox, Endocet, Percocet, Percodan, Roxicodone, Oxycontin, Roxicet, Tylox, Dilaudid, Vicoprofen, Butrans, Actiq, MS-Contin, Opana, Exalgo, Palladone, etc.

They are similar to heroin, but heroin only costs half as much. Ironically, it is less likely they will be identified as a heroin user than as a prescription drug abuser.

Bingo. I work in a treatment facility and that is exactly what we are seeing. People get hooked on prescribed opiates and turn to heroin because it is way cheaper.
