What Is Heroin?
Heroin is a substance derived from the milky, white sap of opium poppies. Heroin has high levels of impurities and may contain additional substances, like other narcotics or rat poison (strychnine). Other additives found in heroin are lactose, baby laxatives, quinine, talc, and powdered milk. Serious vascular damage can occur when using heroin with these impurities. Overdoses are a high risk due to how potent each dose is. Pure heroin comes in a white powder form, but heroin off the street can vary in color from white to black to brown, depending on what other substances have been added to the street drug. Heroin is extremely addicting, harmful, and easily abused.
