In addition to the potential health hazards of using the drug itself (risk of overdose, liver failure, etc.) there are also a number of potential problems associated with IV heroin abuse that can be deadly. Specifically, those individuals who use or share dirty needles when shooting heroin are at risk for developing HIV/AIDS, hepatitis or other serious illnesses.

A derivative of morphine, heroin is a very powerful painkiller. Its painkilling properties stem from the fact that it mimics endorphins, the natural pain-killing substances produced by the body. As heroin binds rapidly with endorphin receptors, the painkilling effect is extended and magnified, and produces a pleasurable sensation called a "rush". Heroin users also report that taking heroin gives them not only a warm feeling, but a very distinct sense of well-being as well. This makes heroin one of the most pleasurable drugs in the world. Heroin, however, is also one of the world's most dangerous illicit drugs. Highly addictive, heroin wreaks havoc on the human body and mind, and has claimed many lives around the world
