did i already say that jersey rocks?

Within the next few weeks, the federal Drug Enforcement Agency will announce what every junkie in the state already knows: New Jersey has the country's purest heroin.

For the second straight year, DEA lab tests of samples bought on the street will show unprecedented levels of heroin purity. In 2002, New Jersey heroin was 71.4 percent pure, nearly twice the national average. A report on the 2003 numbers will be out soon, according to federal DEA spokesman Rusty Payne, and New Jersey again will hold the nation's top spot.
