Authorities found over $22 million of heroin molded into furniture in Queens:
“This method of mixing the heroin with other chemicals is called starching,” Queens District Attorney Richard Brown explained Monday.
“It is done so as to disguise the heroin and then the heroin is reprocessed back into its full strength ... . In this case, it’s the first time that I’ve seen it where the heroin is actually molded into furniture to find its way into this country.”
The men used sanders to grind the molding — a mixture of heroin and resin that was glued on bed headboards, baseboards, nightstands and other bedroom furniture — into powder. The powder was transferred into buckets, mixed with chemicals that extract the impurities and then poured through filters into four 55-gallon drums, said Lt. William Waters, head of Queens Narcotics Major Crime squad.
Yeah, and heroin users would be injecting or snorting that. Gothamist may not be squeamish, but Jen sure is. Ewww.

And it looks like the sort of furniture you would expect to find in Queens.
It's surprisingly rococo.
Sounds mighty familiar to an episode of CSI:Miami a couple of weeks ago when they mixed heroin with some kind of adhesive to make blocks that looked like marble
Or the movie Traffic, where they smuggled cocaine as children's toys.
Yup. I just think it's gross. I mean, I know hot dogs are disgusting, but I'm not injecting them in my bloodstream. I'm just eating them.
i had a hot dog for lunch, and now i feel sick.
I tryed some salsa and I am sick too.
22 mil of heroin into furniture? What is going on here people?
