Will you die if heroin goes into your digestive system?
No. Heroin is an opiate, just like vicodin (hydrocodone) or percocet (oxycodone). Opiates are ingestible. If one were to eat heroin, they would get high. Also opiates bind with receptors in your digestive system, which is why they (opiates) can cause constipation.
Is buprenorphene in methadone?
No it is not, but they are both opiates like heroin or morphine.
What are drugs like?
There is no drug quite like heroin. Heroin is an opiate (meaning, it is made from the poppy plant), and there are other opiates, like opium, morphine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone, but they don't quite produce the same level of intense, absolute euphoria that heroin does. There are also other depressants (meaning, drugs that slow down your central nervous system), like benzodiazepines (Xanax and Valium), but they don't even come close to producing the intense, absolute euphoria that heroin does.
How long for heroin to leave your system if you are 5' 6 and weigh 175 lbs?
Herion, like other opiates, will be out of your system in 1-3 days completely. The withdrawl symptoms, however, can last over a week for the heavier user.
Does Oxycontin come up as opiates in a dip test?
Yes it does. It is opiate based, like Vicodin, percocet, morphine, heroin, etc.
Is heroin man made?
Heroin (also known as diacetylmorphine) is semi-synthetic, which means it is derived from a naturally occurring opiate. The only fully natural opiates, that are found in the resin of opium poppies, are morphine, codeine and thebaine (which is nothing like the other two). OpiATES are fully naturally occurring, whereas opiOIDS are created from the naturally occurring opiates. There are also fully synthetic opioids which are entirely man made, such as fentanyl. Heroin is a semi-synthetic opioid that was created through synthesizing morphine in the late 1800's. So no, heroin can not be found in nature.
What are heroines?
They are unpleasant symptoms caused by not having heroin in your system after regular use (i.e. for someone who is addicted to heroin). They can be suppressed by other opiates like morphine or oxycodone. The symptoms are sometimes like a flu. There is intense craving for heroin, unpleasant feelings, aches, cold sweats, lethargy, dilated pupils, crying, yawning. The main symptoms are going to be runny nose, tiredness but inability to sleep, yawning, and hot/cold flashes. Since heroin causes constipation, during withdrawal expect a lot of diarrhea.

Are opiates methamphetamine?
No. Opiates are drugs that are made from the opium poppy, like heroin, morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone (Vicodin), Suboxone, methadone, codeine, Percocet, Dilaudid (hydromorphone), etc. All opiates are depressants. Amphetamines and methamphetamines are stimulant drugs. They are a completely different class of drugs, most commonly called "speed."
Does bupremnorphine affect opioids?
yes bupremorphine is a semi-synthetic opioid that when it comes into contact with the brains opiate receptors, instead of bouncing rapidly in and out like pure opiates such morphine (heroin) , oxycontin, and lortab, bupremorhpine docks and saturates the receptor without bouncing in and out. Its stationary nature in the receptor is why if any other opiates are taken with bupremorphine just bounce off the receptor and flush harmlessly out of the system. Never take any opiates with bupremorphine.
Does heroin have the same effect as zanacs?
I am assuming you mean XANAX (or alprazolam, the actual chemical--or "generic"--name)? If so- no, they do not act in the same area of the brain and have different effects. Although they are both central nervous system depressants and do have someoverlapping effects such as the ability to induce euphoria, lower heart rate, reduce anxiety (although xanax is more effective with this, see below), and treat insomnia.Heroin: Part of the class of drugs called opiates.Heroin acts on the opioid receptors in the brain. Naturally, endorphins will "plug into" these receptors when we experience pain; although heroin and other opiates cause exponentially higher pain relief than endorphins found naturally in our body. Primary effects include: euphoria, a "rush" (when injected), and pain relief or analgesia--but also causing antitussive effects, treatment of diarrhea (often leading to constipation), and reduction of anxiety & insomnia.Xanax: Part of the class of drugs called benzodiazepines. These drugs act on GABA receptors in the brain. Unlike heroin or opiates, these drugs act in a similar fashion to alcohol (although with less negative side effects) and barbiturates. Effects of Xanax & benzodiazepines that are unique to non-GABA acting drugs include: amnesia, more profound ataxia (decreased coordination) relative to heroin/opiates, more profound anxiolysis (reduction in anxiety) relative to heroin/opiates, more profound central nervous system depression (lowered heart rate and hypotension) relative to heroin/opiates, and more profound induction of sleep/drowsiness relative to heroin/opiates. Xanax can produce euphoria, although at a lower intensity than that of heroin--or even other drugs that effect GABA receptors like alcohol or barbiturates. Additionally, xanax does not produce a "rush" like intravenous injection of heroin does, nor does it have any painkilling or analgesic properties.
What is the classification of opiates?
Opiates are their own class of drugs. If you are talking about what class of controlled substances opiates are in, they are members of three classes. Illegal opiates like heroin and many other illegal drugs are DEA Schedule I drugs. No Schedule I drug is legal in the US. The stronger opiates like morphine, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydromorphone (Dilaudid), oxymorphone (Opana), and methadone are Schedule II controlled substances. The weaker opiates such as codeine, dihydrocodeine, and hydrocodone (Vicoden) are Schedule III drugs, although the DEA is currently considering moving hydrocodone into Schedule II.
