Heroin/Opiates

Heroin (opiates, H, horse, smack or black tar) is an addictive drug that is processed from morphine and usually appears as a white or brown powder. Short-term effects include a surge of euphoria followed by alternate wakeful and drowsy states and cloudy mental functioning. It is associated with fatal overdose as well as infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis in people who inject the drug. Long-term users may develop collapsed veins, liver disease, and lung complications.
