Other than the fact that they both derive from plants and both are drugs, there is no link. No, using one does not lead to use of the other. Heroin comes from opium, as do morphine and codeine. Marijuana, most often used in it's original form is a completely unrelated plant with very different effects.

Heroin breaks down into codeine and morphine. Codeine breaks down into morphine. The opiate drug tests look for codeine, morphine, and 6-acetyl-morphine. The presence of 6-acetyl-morphine is relatively conclusive of recent heroin use, but is only detectable for a few hours after use. The presence of codeine can be the result of either heroin or codeine use. The presence of morphine can be the result of the use of heroin, codeine, or morphine. Relative levels of codeine and morphine can help determine their origin.
