Heroin

« Back to Glossary Index

Heroin is a highly addictive drug and it is a rapidly acting opioid.

Heroin is processed from morphine, a naturally occurring substance extracted from the seed pod of certain varieties of poppy plants.

Heroin comes in several forms, primarily white powder from Mexico and South America; and “black tar” and brown powder from Mexico.

Heroin is a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act meaning that it has a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision.
