Heroin, Opium and Fentanyl

Heroin, Opium and Fentanyl, has enjoyed a recent comeback lately and is becoming increasingly more popular. It is a white or dark brown powder that can be smoked, inhaled or injected. It is also referred to as Smack, Horse, Mud, Brown sugar, Junk, Black tar, or Big H. Opium is usually brown and can be eaten, injected or smoked. Fentanyl is a synthetic form of heroin that is usually white.

In some cases, heroin leaves a brown stain on the upper lip that is unmistakable. Other effects from these two drugs include loss of coordination, euphoria, drowsiness, nausea, respiratory distress and in severe cases, death. It is another drug that is extremely addictive, and the user's tolerance to its effects grows quickly, causing many to overdose as they attempt to reach their high again.

Clinical Symptoms are decreased heart rate, pupil constriction, itching, nausea and severe vomiting, rash and shallow respiration. Severe side effects include coma, seizure, respiratory arrest or sudden death.
