First heroin death at gas station reported in San Francisco

The semi-synthetic opioid is not approved for medical use; it is illegal to sell and ingesting too much can lead to death, health officials said.

Managers, for their part, are concerned about the accessibility of the product. It has been found in products sold at smoke shops and gas stations, advertised under names such as “uncaria tomentosa” or “cat’s claw,” according to the San Francisco Department of Public Health.
