Yes, injecting heroin can cause blood clots. Blood clots form primarily in veins because blood moves more slowly in veins than in arteries. The clotting process is started by the platelets in the blood, which adhere to some surface. Normally, the walls of the veins are too smooth to allow this, but injection scars inside of veins create such surfaces. To reduce the risk of clotting, exercise-pay particular attention to parts of your body in which you inject.
These clots may stick in the walls and form hard clumps that interfere with the flow of blood. These are fairly common amongst injectors. They are usually frightening at first, but over time users find that they aren't particularly painful and that they don't seem to cause any problems other than making the vein in which they reside useless for injection.

Is heroin a blood thinner or does it clot the blood?
Neither, it is a central nervous system depressant. Problems with blood clots might occur if the user is injecting the drug since this is usually done with less than sanitary equipment and the veins being used can become infected and irritated causing a potential for thrombophlebitis. Heroin can absolutely cause a blood clotting disorder if injected over a long period of time.
