Authorities in Colorado Springs reported this week that at least 25 area teens are involved in a local heroin drug ring that caters specifically to students at one local high school. The black-tar heroin was provided by former Cheyenne Mountain High School students and Mexican nationals. The teen users either smoked or injected the heroin, according to local law enforcement authorities. Black-tar heroin is a black, sticky substance that resembles road tar. According to local DEA officials, it is typically grown and refined in Mexico. Authorities found out about the heroin drug use during a routine sweep of the high school in October. A student who was found to have Xanax in his locker (by a drug-sniffing dog) told authorities that heroin use was common among classmates.
