Heroin

Heroin belongs to a group of analgesics called anesthetics. The medicine comes from poppies, flowers that grow in Asia, Mexico and South America. Pure heroin has consistency of white powder. Black tar heroin is sticky or hard and looks like roof tar, but some heroin is also dark brown.

Several anesthetics like codeine and morphine are legal for pain relief, but heroin is an illegal anesthetic because it has dangerous side effects and is highly addictive.

Heroin provides impulsivity and a good feeling of hurry, and the user feels relaxed with "high". After this, there may be drowsiness and nausea.

Many people who are addicted to heroin use a needle to inject a medicine into a vein and may inject several times a day. As time goes by, marks and marks on the needle may become permanent scratches

Normally heroin regulars will share needles, which can infect dangerous bacteria such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C or AIDS and cause HIV infection.

Heroin is a highly addictive medicine and many people find it difficult to stop using it even after using it the first or second time. Heroin users are anxious for the following dosages

When a heroin regular suddenly tries to stop using the medicine or can not take another medicine, there are often withdrawal symptoms such as panic, insomnia, chills and sweating, muscle pain, abdominal pain, nausea. Vomiting and diarrhea.

Taking too much heroin may cause a person to stop breathing and die. This is especially true if heroin is mixed with a synthetic opiate such as fentanyl. Many distributors now use a much stronger analgesic than fentanyl, heroin to add heroin and may cause overdose more quickly.

Several heroin distributors blend fentanyl powder with heroin to increase efficacy or to compensate for poor quality heroin. In 2006, illegally produced non-drug fentanyl was mixed with cocaine or heroin, causing excessive deaths in the United States and Canada, mainly in Dayton, Ohio, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia. US police authorities confiscated a large amount of illegally manufactured fentanyl. In June 2006, the California border guard seized a fentanyl powder of 83% purity of 945 grams (2.08 pounds) from a car entering Mexico. Mexico is the most illegal source of fentanyl sold in the United States. However, in April 2006, the law enforcement agency of Azusa, California, found a domestic fentanyl laboratory. The lab is a source of 80 mg counterfeit oxycontin tablets containing fentanyl instead of oxycodone, as well as large amounts of fentanyl and other drugs.

The origin of international international illegal heroin transactions can be traced back to the law adopted in many countries early in the 20th century, which strictly regulates the manufacture and sale of opium and its derivatives, including heroin. Initially heroin flowed from a country that was legitimate to a country that is no longer legal. By the mid-1920s, heroin production became illegal in many parts of the world. At that time, illegal trade in China's heroin laboratory (mainly Shanghai and Tianjin) and other countries developed. Because of the weakness of the Chinese government and the situation of the civil war, heroin production has settled there. China 's triad gang finally played an important role in illegal heroin transactions. The French contact route began in the 1930's
