The innocuous looking heroin poppy Some background and useful information about the drug can be found at: Heroin if you want to know more try Trafficking Bermuda saw a substantial drop-off in the number of heroin users from the mid 1980's to the early 1990's, it was not that we were doing a particularly good job (the amount of heroin seized was pathetic and the 'rewards' from importation and sale were astronomical), it was simply because the users were dying off. The incidence of AIDS on the Island is one of the highest recorded in the world. Sharing needles is a very dangerous habit. For those who do not appreciate the dangers, here is some advice on the use of needles ... do you still want to pump your body full of some alien, impure substance? In Bermuda I do not recalling any 'wrap' of heroin that was more than 20% pure, 4/5 of what was being injected was other than the drug! Oh, and if you remember all the following immediately prior to, or when you are engaged in, injecting your drug (or concoction of drugs), then you should have retained sufficient of your brain to realise that the hit you are about to take could be your last action ... Injecting
