Short term effects mentally - you want to get that feeling again., Short term effects physically - Nodding, dreaming, feeling all is right with the world.
Now to the long term effects. I know about those by being a 37 year heroin user. I kicked 3 years ago by myself so I do know what I am speaking of.
Long term effects of opiate use mentally - withdrawal from society, loss of family, friends, self esteem and anything else you once held dear, becoming a thief, a prostitute or anything you have to be to get the drug. Long term effects physically- severe withdrawal symptoms ( vomiting violently, diarrhea, sneezing, leaking water from the eyes and nose, severe stomach cramps, inability to sleep and disturbance of sleep patterns for the remainder of your life, depression, just to name a few).
My advice, they will ruin your life.
