Heroin is one of several highly addictive drugs derived from the opium poppy plant, along with morphine, opium, Dilaudid, and others.
Heroin is particularly addictive because it enters the brain so rapidly.
Heroin in its pure form is a white powder which is easily soluble in water.
Long-term effects of heroin include: addiction, collapsed veins, abscesses, liver disease, and clogging of blood vessels.

100 Deaths related to Buprenorphine
According to the United Nations International Narcotics Control Board (UN/INCB), worldwide usage and availability of buprenorphine has increased substantially in recent years. Buprenorphine production has grown from 35 kg in 1980 to 460 kg in 1998. In France, imports increased from 5 kg in 1994 to 159 kg in 1998. The increased availability of buprenorphine in France coincides with the marketing of high-dose sublingual tablets and has been accompanied by increased diversion and abuse and over 100 buprenorphine-related deaths.
