Burma / Myanmar: Label from a 'Double Uoglobe' Heroin brick, the most ubiquitous and best known illicit brand in the Golden Triangle region where Burma, Thailand and Laos meet

The wholesale purity of heroin, whether processed in the Shan State of Burma, Laos, or Thailand, ranges from 85 to 95 percent pure. Among wholesale heroin trafficking groups in the Golden Triangle, the heroin unit is never adulterated or otherwise altered as it is passed from one group to another.

These wholesale units remain in their original high-purity form, packaged in the original plastic. A typical unit of Southeast Asian heroin is produced in a compressed brick form at numerous heroin refineries in the Shan State of Burma. A 700-gram brick is approximately 6-inches long, 4-inches wide, and 1 inch thick; it is white in color, and is very hard. The brick is typically enclosed in a heat-sealed clear plastic bag with a unique logo stamped on the bag.

The best-known and most widely used logo is the Double UOGlobe, otherwise known as the 'Double Lion' brand. Most Southeast Asian heroin is about 90-percent pure at the refineries; sometimes higher with experienced heroin chemists and good-quality chemicals. No deterioration or adulteration should be expected at the delivery point in Northern Thailand.
