Are the affects from raw opium stronger than the affects of heroin?
Opium1423
Not at all. Raw opium contains a mixture of several alkaloids, the most powerful of which is morphine. While morphine is a very powerful drug, it has a difficult time passing through the blood-brain-barrier, and therefore is not as powerful as diacetylmorphine (heroin) which quickly passes into the brain for immediate and powerful effects.

Why is heroin proved to be more effective than morphine and codeine?
Heroin is in its pure state and bonds to opiate receptors in the brain far better than morphine and codeine. Codeine is a derivative of opium where as heroin is actual opium. Codeine and Morphine are broken down and made relatively safe by pharmaceutical companies, where as heroin is made to be strong, without proper dosing. They both (codeine, morphine) bond differently than heroin and to less receptors in the brain, making them less effective, as well as addictive. Both are still very addictive, beware.

Where is heroin originally from?
Heroin comes from the opium poppy. the majority of it comes from the middle east where poppy production is very large. THey wait fo the poppy seed pop to ripen, then they walk through and slice the skin of the pod to allow a white milky substance to ooze out, when it oxidizes it turns black, that is opium. The main ingredients in opium are morphine and codeine. The opium is refined into morphine, and then the morphine, with the addition of glacial acetic acid, is turned into heroin. Alot of people do not know, that heroin, when metabolized, is morphine. By the time it hits your brain it is morphine. Heroin is simply diacetyl-morphine and is still prescribed in some countries as a legitimate pain killer available at the pharmacy. The only thing that sets heroin and morphine apart is the addition of an acetyl group in the heroin molecule. That extra acetyl group helps heropi penetrate the blood brain barrier much quicker than morphine, making it MUCH MUCH stronger.
