Dallas overrun with form of heroin called "cheese"

It seems we have a new crisis of illegal drugs running rampant (Hat tip: Hot Air):
As many as 17 Dallas County teenagers have died since 2005 from overdoses of the popular new form of heroin known as “cheese” – the most visible sign yet that more youths are caught in the grip of a growing crisis.This new drug called "cheese" has been around for at least two years now, and appears to be made from a combination of poisonous heroin and legal drugs as well. It reminds me that even legal drugs can be dangerous if they're overused and without a prescription. Let's hope that this new type of traffiking can be stopped.
The Dallas Morning News worked with the Dallas County medical examiner’s office to examine toxicology results from hundreds of autopsies and found more than four times as many cheese heroin deaths as previously reported.
