Heroin is one the most addictive drugs on the market.
Heroin is an opioid and a depressant, meaning it slows
down the brain’s ability to function. Heroin is
usually injected and can also be smoked and snorted.
Heroin created a highly desirable sense of pleasure
and euphoria and almost immediately creates a craving
for more of the drug.
A person who becomes addicted to heroin has no desire
to do anything but to get more heroin. He/she will most
likely lie, cheat or steal in order to find the next
high. People addicted to heroin lose relationships,
especially those that are most important to them and
are unable to function in daily life. People who inject
heroin, meaning they use it intravenously are at risk
for diseases such a HIV, AIDS and hepatitis. Heroin
addiction can lead to debt, insanity and death.
