Best Answer

Heroin is a drug that is chemically known as diacetylmorphine or morphine diacetate. It is a narcotic painkiller, and it is highly addictive.

Sometimes people use the word heroin for heroine, a female hero. That is a woman who had done amazing things that others cannot do or would not be likely to attempt. So if a woman wins an Olympic gold medal or rescues hostages from an armed kidnapping, she would be a heroine.
