Adulterated cocaine has killed at least 20 people and left 74 in hospitals around the Buenos Aires region of Argentina, the authorities say. :'(
"On this occasion, however, the drug was cut with a harmful substance as part of a "war between drug-traffickers", he was quoted as saying by AFP news agency." >:(
Sawdust and Honey:
Wonder what the cutting agent was.

My first thought was fentanyl , not far off.
"But that hypothesis is now giving way to the view that the tainted cocaine was cut with a poorly manufactured opioid."

Never understood using an opiate as a cutting agent for cocaine. At least use another stimulant or inert mannitol, inositol, etc.
