Heroin

updated Jan 07, 2009 by sean foley

Heroin is a semi-synthetic opiod that was derived from the Morphine molecule. It was initially marketed as the "hero-drug", hence the name heroin, and was supposedly free of the side-effects that accompanied Morphine. Today it is one of the most widely used addictive drugs.
