About heroin.

 

Heroin is a very addictive drug made from morphine; a mind-altering substance taken from the resin of the seed pod of the opium poppy. Heroin’s appearance can vary in color from white or brownish powder to a black and sticky substance referred to as black-tar heroin. Heroin is classified as an opiate, along with opiates such as codeine, oxycodone, oxycontin, hydrocodone and fentanyl. Heroin overdoses have drastically increased over the past decade, partly due to the abuse of prescription pain relievers. Those who become dependent upon opiate pain relievers over an extended period of time may switch to heroin as it produces a similar effect and is cheaper to purchase. With the increase in fentanyl throughout the nation, purchasing heroin, or any other drug on the street, comes with an increasingly high risk that the drug being bought may be mixed or “cut” with fentanyl. Those without a high opioid tolerance are at extreme risk of a potential overdose or even death.
