Not to say Gabe and Tycho are Fibbing, but...I present Exhibit 1.
Tycho was merely a go-between for that heroin, he didn't purchase it. You can transport, store, and even use heroin without ever knowing it's resale value. Or quality, for that matter. I always thought "black tar" was the "It's Probably Heroin in the same way that it Probably Won't Kill You" version. I dunno if I care to look it up though
I thought this was a weird choice of analogy. Black tar heroin is the cheapest, lowest quality, and easiest to find variety of a drug that is a major part of the current and ongoing "opioid epidemic" in America. But "difficult and expensive" is a matter of perspective, I suppose.
Also, "black tar heroin" as a phrase has a history in entertainment. It's often delivered in an melodramatic way in police procedurals. They used it for that punch.
white powder, generally; 'black tar' is essentially heroin that hasn't been refined as rigorously (and/or with impurities left in)
Impurities can also be added in to decrease the amount of actual heroin being sold and increase your profit margin. Though this usually leads to a shrinking customer base as your buyers die from whatever crap you put in there

"He was shooting up heroin" vs "He was shooting up black tar heroin."

That line still tickles me even ~15 years later :-)

Technically, Tycho wasn't doing the buying there.
