A community portal about Heroin Addictions with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Heroin, also known as diamorphine or diacetylmorphine, is a semi-synthetic opioid. It is the 3,6- diacetyl derivative of morphine and is synthesised from it by acetylation. The white crystalline form is commonly the hydrochloride salt, diacetylmorphine hydrochloride. It mimics endorphins and thus causes a high sense of well-being when entered into the bloodstream. For this reason it can be used both as a pain-killer and a recreational drug. It has a high addiction potential, and frequent administration may cause a rapid development of tolerance by the user, especially when compared to other substances, though occasional use may not lead to symptoms of withdrawal. Internationally, heroin is controlled under Schedules I and IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. It is illegal to manufacture, possess, or sell heroin in the United States ; however, under the name diamorphine, heroin is a legal prescription drug in the United Kingdom. Popular street names for heroin include gear, diesel, smack, B, skag, Bobby, black tar, horse, junk, jenny, brown, brown sugar, dark, Dope and H.
