The Mexican heroin is black tar heroin which is a cruder, less potent form than the white powder heroin that comes from colombia
Yes indeed it is. Heroin [diacetyl morphine] is a partially synthetic opiate compound produced when acetyl molecules are are bonded to morphine [morphine sulfate] molecules. Morphine is a naturally occurring opiate produced by and from the poppy plant. In fact the body changes heroin into morphine. The purpose of bonding acetyl molecules to morphine is that it allows the new compound, heroin, to enter the brain 300% faster than morphine alone; That in turn makes heroin three times (3X) more potent than standard morphine on a molecule to molecule basis. All opiates are depressants and Heroin is the most frequently used illegal depressant.No, it's a narcotic.
Synthetic heroin refers to laboratory-produced opioids designed to mimic the effects of natural heroin. These substances often include potent analogs or derivatives of morphine or other opioid compounds and can be more dangerous due to their unpredictable potency and potential for overdose. Unlike traditional heroin, which is derived from the opium poppy, synthetic heroin is created through chemical processes and may not be subject to the same regulations. The use of synthetic heroin poses significant health risks, including addiction and respiratory depression.
Afghanistan produces little to no heroin, but it is the major worldwide producer of opium, from which heroin is synthesized. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) 2007 Afghanistan Opium Survey, Afghanistan produced approximately 8,200 metric tonnes of opium, or about 18 million pounds.
A deck of heroin is 1 to 15 grams of heroin, it is also known as a bag of heroin.
Mouth swabs can detect the presence of heroin and its metabolites, which are substances produced when heroin is broken down in the body. These tests typically identify 6-acetylmorphine, a specific metabolite of heroin, and can indicate recent use. The effectiveness of detection can vary based on factors such as the timing of the test and the individual's metabolism. However, mouth swab tests are generally considered less sensitive than urine tests for detecting heroin use.
