2:08Now PlayingThe trend towards drugs becoming purer has increased in recent years with some potentially worrying consequences. For example, if you are used to 30% heroin and you take some 65% heroin the chances of overdosing increase dramatically. Crack is now routinely found with a purity of over 90% - a consequence of drug gangs trying to secure new clients. E’s are now standardly 3 times the dose in a single pill than they used to be. And then there are the impurities... some of which can harm or even kill. Cheaper cutting agents, such as fentanyl, are often more dangerous than the drug itself. This will include footage shot with the police forensics team and with the Loop team at Boomtown festival who test drugs for festival goers to see if they really want to take them.
