What is heroin?
Heroin is a highly addictive drug and a rapidly acting opioid, which can often lead to overdoses or death. It is widely abused by millions to alleviate pain and anxiety while inducing a euphoric high. Heroin either looks like a white or brown-colored powder or a black, sticky substance. It is normally injected, smoked, or snorted. Heroin overdoses cause slow and shallow breathing, blue lips and fingernails, clammy skin, convulsions, coma, and possible death.
Heroin use can significantly alter your life, impairing relationships, health, and daily functioning.
Types of heroin
White powder heroin
This form is typically the purest and can range in color from white to off-white or beige. It is usually a hydrochloride salt and is soluble in water, making it easy to prepare for injection. Due to its high purity, it can also be snorted or smoked, routes of administration that may appeal to new users as they eliminate the stigma of injection. This type predominantly originates in South America or Southeast Asia and is most commonly found in U.S. markets east of the Mississippi River.
Brown powder heroin
Considered lower quality than white powder heroin, this form is usually smoked or snorted.
Black tar heroin
This substance is typically sticky like roofing tar or hard like coal, with a dark brown or black color resulting from crude processing methods that leave behind impurities. It is primarily produced in Mexico and is the predominant type found in the western U.S. Due to its impurity, it is typically dissolved, diluted, and then injected into a vein, muscle, or under the skin.
Signs and symptoms of heroin addiction
- Constricted ‘pinned’ pupils
- Drowsiness or frequent nodding off
- Unexplained weight loss
- Neglected appearance
- Withdrawing from family and friends
- Constipation
- Track marks on skin
- Slurred intelligible speech
- Incessant scratching
