There’s been some clean stuff recently tested at DrugsData, legitimately just heroin. Bought from a darknet vendor in Canada. I imagine that’s INSANELY rare.
I just did some very light research and did find this graph.
Appears to depict H becoming safer and safer over time. The deaths from heroin are about what they were from methadone 20 years ago. (Ignoring all methodological issues in determining “cause of death”.)
I expect this is basically due to how impossible heroin is to get, perhaps the only users left over are those with the ability to obtain a very good supply. Whereas 95% people are stuck with the other stuff.

That’s terrifying.
Ya it’s always a re-shock to see how dramatic things are. that graph is based on this chart
death from any opiod - total:
death from Synthetic opioids other than methadone:
