Heroin is in its pure state and bonds to opiate receptors in the brain far better than morphine and codeine. Codeine is a derivative of opium where as heroin is actual opium. Codeine and Morphine are broken down and made relatively safe by pharmaceutical companies, where as heroin is made to be strong, without proper dosing. They both (codeine, morphine) bond differently than heroin and to less receptors in the brain, making them less effective, as well as addictive. Both are still very addictive, beware.

Is heroin a legal drug in the US?
Yes, heroin was originally developed by doctors to be used as a pain medication, for which purpose it works extremely well, and it is still sometimes prescribed for terminally ill patients who are in severe pain - although there are now other, equally powerful pain killers such as dilaudid which may be prescribed instead. It was only later that heroin came into use as a recreational drug and became a controlled substance.
Can you split a 200 mg morphine in half?
You only take morphine if your doctor has prescribed it, and then exactly as prescribed. Morphine is extremely dangerous and WILL kill you if you take it wrong. I've lost several patients to morphine overdose, so don't play around with it.
