Heroin can basically harm every major organ in your body, skin, and other parts that can't be mentioned.

--

No, heroin itself, and other opiates are not harmful to the liver, nor to any other organ of the body. Opiates like heroin are some of the most studied drugs we have, and have been shown to be quite harmless at normal dosages, even for chronic use.

The harms that some addicts experience come mainly from improper or long-term injection practices, re-use of needles which become dull or barbed, impurities, and variable and unknowable potency. Other harms result from poor nutrition and hygiene, which themselves are the result of the vastly over-inflated prices paid on the black market. Almost all the harm associated with heroin use is a direct or indirect consequence of prohibition, rather than from the drug itself.
