The Ontario Provincial Police warned earlier this year about the dangers of the drug, which is typically made up of heroin, OxyContin and fentanyl or carfentanil.

Montreal police are worried that a dangerous drug known as “purple heroin” has made its way into the city.

Both Montreal and Quebec provincial police say the drug has yet to be seized during an arrest and no overdoses have yet been linked to it, while adding that police are not always informed of what substances a drug user consumed. “If they know the quantity, consumers are capable of adjusting the dose,” Mary said. “Now, it’s like playing Russian roulette.”

Zero sympathy for people who die trying to get a buzz. Let them go and we'll all have a better society.
