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.
Most of the heroin that enters europe, comes from Afghanistan. It is collected and travels through countries like Iran and the middle east. Once it gets through Turkey its put into big containers which are then taken to places like Marseille by boat. This is how it is bought into major European cites. Biggest sources of heroin come from
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Mexico, Thailand and South America, it was on of the biggest drugs found on the streets of Harlem in 1969, it was sold and distriputed by major crime organizations and Kingpins like The italians (mafia), the french connection, FRANK LUCAS and nicky barnes, this drug is deadley but makes you bare scrilla ya get me
Heroin, a semi-synthetic opioid, is synthesized from morphine, which itself is derived from opium poppies. It was first synthesized in London in 1874 by the English chemist C. R. Alder Wright. However, heroin did not become widely known until 1897, when it was re-synthesized by Felix Hoffmann, a chemist for the Bayer pharmaceutical company in Elberfeld, Germany. It was the Bayer company that named the substance "heroin" and marketed it to the public between 1898 and 1910.
Herion is derrived from the hardened sap of the Opium Poppy, Papaver somniferum. The stems or corpuscular fruit are sliced finally, a tiny bead of sap forms and hardens. This is mechanically processed into opium. Various chemical processes can be used to produce morphine or its stronger variant, heroin, from there. The poppy was originally indigenous to Turkey and surrounding regions, but has been transplanted effectively into the far east.
The name heroin comes from the Bayer pharmaceutical company after one of their employees, Felix Hoffmann rediscovered it while trying to produce codeine. Bayer would name the substance "heroin", probably from the word heroisch, German for heroic, because in field studies people using the medicine felt "heroic".
Heroin comes from synthesizing the waxy substance that is harvested from the poppy plant
It is the Brand name diacetylmorphine was marketed under by Bayer Pharmaceuticals.
Pain. Nope, Bayer originally developed Heroin as a "nonaddictive" drug that Morphine addicts could be switched to so they could eventually be cured of their addiction. Unfortunately after a few years it was finally realized it was actually more addictive than Morphine.
A deck of heroin is 1 to 15 grams of heroin, it is also known as a bag of heroin.

They have the same risks from heroin as adults. Heroin is addictive, and it is often injected in a very impure form. That is why so many call heroin "junk" in slang, and why so many diseases are spread from injecting heroin. Plus heroin itself is quite hard on the body.
