Summary

Heroin, the highly addictive drug made from opium poppies, has been used as a recreational drug since ancient times. Users are attracted to it for its euphoric effects. Yet, even casual users risk addiction—a hard habit to break because of the physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms. Heroin examines the history of the drug and how it’s made and trafficked, as well as why users find it so difficult to shake their sometimes deadly addiction.
