black tar

Crude injectable drug

Black tar is a dark, sticky form of heroin, typically produced in Mexico and common in the western United States.

The name comes from its appearance—a gummy, tar-like substance ranging from dark brown to black.

It's usually cheaper and less refined than powder heroin: Black tar was the only kind available on the street.
