Heroin is a drug that heightens sexual drive and performance, but not for very long. After the initial high, which only reaches its highest at 2 hours and lasts for only one or two more, it causes a rush like sensation, slowed breathing, a 'foggy' mind and decreased mental capacity, nausea and vomiting, sedation and drowsiness, lower body temperature, and in cases of overdose, coma or death. Heroine can be smoked, snorted or injected. Two of the biggest issues with the drug is shared/dirty needle use and the potency of the drug, if its not made yourself you don't know how strong it will be. When you share a needle you have the potential to get blood transmitted diseases, such as hepatitis and HIV/AIDS. Many blood transmitted diseases have no cure, but you can take Antiretrovirals to keep the illnesses at bay. Long term effects of heroin include bad teeth, inflammation of the gums, constipation, cold sweats, itching, weakening of the immune system, coma, respiratory illnesses, partial paralysis or general weakness, loss of memory and mental capacity, introversion, depression, pustules on the face, loss of appetite, insomnia, reduced sexual capacity and decreased impotence in men, menstrual disturbances, and inability to achieve orgasm. Overuse can lead to tuberculosis, collapsed veins, and blood/heart infections. Withdrawal is a long and terrible experience that tortures the body only a few hours after the last dose.
