  • Heroin officially referred to as diamorphine or more properly as diacetylmorphine is a semi-synthetic opioid most commonly used for recreational purposes in the United States. Heroin still finds use in some other countries as treatment for acute and post-operative pain as well as palliative therapy for the terminally ill.
    Known by the street names as horse, smack, brown or junk, heroin has a half life in the body of about 30 minutes but may remain active for 4-5 hours. Depending of the route of administration it may provide users an intense rush or high with the onset as soon as several seconds after intravenous injection or smoking. Alternatively the rush or pleasurable sensation may be delayed for more than 10 minutes after sniffing the drug.
    Associated with the initial rush many users note watery eyes, runny nose, warm flushed skin, severe itching, sweating and loss of appetite. After these initial effects of heroin, drowsiness lasts several hours with some describing a trance like state associated with head nodding due to the resulting sleepiness.
    Of more concern, heroin may significantly slow the heart rate and lead to severe slowing of the respiratory rate. At times decreased breathing may lead to potentially irreversible brain damage.
    In the body, heroin is converted to morphine. However unique to heroin is the metabolically active breakdown product - 6 monoacetylmorphine - which may be associated with the initial euphoria and preference of abusers for heroin rather than morphine.
    Fear of infection and other consequences of heroin use limits the percent of users injecting heroin to about 45-50% - a number constant over the decades. Other routes of administration include smoking, snorting and either intramuscular or subcutaneous injections. Most heroin addicts also abuse other illicit drugs. Heroin may even be purchased in pill form. The majority of heroin sold in America originates in Mexico or Colombia.

    My best friend / partner of 11 years overdosed on heroin in January 2021. He had stopped using years ago and just restarted. I suspect he may have taken the old dose he was tolerant too and this led to his overdose. He was in a car with other people and lay there over an hour before they realized he was dead. They thought he was sleeping. Please think about others in your life if you choose to use. The pain is indescribable.

      @@MattCantu76 I couldn't agree more. Often people forget that diamorphine is only a kind of morphine which kicks in faster. That's all. So it really is an absolutely amazing painkiller and I'm obviously, talking about the medical, pure form, not about street smack. It should be used as they already do in the UK, as a pain treatment for cancer patients. They don't even feel the high.

      p. s. : same is meant for methadone, which is a LIFE SAVER, really, cause I wouldn't be here typing otherwise,at least in my case. But if you use it recreationally, you are feeding a monkey that will turn into a silverback!

      @@Umberto2 Man, that is so not true. Tons and tons of people still drop acid all the time. There's a HUGE market for it. Plus it's becoming more and more accepted by the medical community for substance abuse, depression, PTSD treatments, which compounds the general public's notion that, "Hey, if I drop acid that will make me a better person." Same goes for Psilocybin (Magic Mushrooms). There is a real resurgence of psychedelics in today's world, especially among millenials (college campuses, music festivals, nightclubs, etc.) and the whole online self-help community is looking at it through these shiny-eyed lenses of New Age-y awakening and trauma processing type thinking. Not to mention ease of access with dark/gray-market purchasing through cryptocurrencies, and the host of analogous chemicals that have been derived that produce similar effects (1P-LSD, 4-Aco-DMT, 5-MeO-MiPT, etc.) Even legislatively/legally there have been a lot of shifts. The District of Columbia recently decriminalized magic mushrooms for christ's sake. I'm not sure where you got the notion that "it doesn't really exist anymore." I'm quite certain that since the 90s it's only been more and more widely used, if anything.

      @@positivethinker2855 Sorry to hear that. Yes, it's a strong synthetic opiod, it's very potent. It only takes a few hours to feel complete analgesia, and doctors use to prescribe the so called "rescue dose", along with fentanyl patches. It can oral morphine (immediate release), or oxycodone (i. r.), hydrmorphone(i. r.). They are used when you start a fentanyl therapy, and the medication has not kicked in yet, or during those days, along with fentanyl, when pain is particularly intense.

      Extended release formulations are mostly pills and rarely depo injections, naloxone cant be taken up orally, so its easier to use naltrexone for a longer opioid antagonist effect. Also naloxones short duration is ideal for emergency situations since you can administer until an overdose ends instead of having the patient withdraw for an unecessary amount of time
