Basic Chemistry; As Heroin in the salt form i.e Heroin Hydrochloride it is water soluble. As the freebase it is NOT water soluble which is why citric acid is added to freebase Heroin to make it injectable. Look in your medicine cabinet; how many pills say eg Prozac HCl (hydrochloride). As for lipiphilicity (fat solubility), it is the advantage of heroin where legally used; like the UK, that as freebase it is extremely fat soluble so it rapidly crosses the blood/brain barrier and produces a 'rush'. Briefly, 'crack'cocaine is a freebase but cocaine HCl is the stuff folks put up their noses. Curiously Heroin. HCl has a high enough vapour pressure to be smokeable, unlike cocaine HCl. Also many acids can make a freebase alkaloid water soluble.

How and where is heroin made?

Heroin is made through a long chemical process first involving the cutting of the opium poppy,which allows raw opium gum or resin to seep out and dry over night.The opium is then collected,and through a long series of chemical proceeses that i don't have space or time to type about becomes refined opium,then becomes morphine base.Morphine base is taken usually to a place where trained chemists with various types of chemicals and laboratory eqiupment are.The morhine base is converted into heroin base,then the heroin base is converted into heroin powder,white number 4 heroin hydrochloride.However some heroin producers omit some steps leaving the heroin with a differetn color such as brown to dark brown,and in the example of Mexican black tar heroin certain chemicals are substituted which gives a resin like moist ,usually altho sometimes dried,dark black or blackish brown heroin with quite a few impurities.The where heroin is made is usually close to the areas,although not always where opium oppies are grown,such as Mexico,Columbia,Afghanistan,Africa,Turkey,India,Burma(myanmar now),Thailand,china etc.
