Effects of Heroin
Heroin
is produced from opium and is perhaps the most dangerous
of narcotic (麻醉的) drugs that you can find on the streets
today.
Dangers and Effects:
Because most heroin abusers inject the drug and often
share needles, they take massive risk for HIV infection,
an incurable disease which can kill. Blood pressure,
pulse, breathing, and temperature all become elevated
(提高). If users overdose on heroin, it reduces the number
of messages the brain sends to the chest muscles. The
breathing slows, and, if the dose is high enough, stops.
Common Street Names:
White girl, horse, black tar, brown sugar, smack,
goods, H, junk.
Legal Status:
It is illegal to grow, process, sell or use heroin.
