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.
