What is heorin?

Heroin is an opioid drug derived from morphine, which is extracted from the opium poppy plant. It is typically a white or brown powder or a black sticky substance known as "black tar heroin." Heroin is highly addictive and is often abused for its euphoric effects, but it can lead to severe health risks, including overdose and death. Its illegal status and potential for addiction make it a significant public health concern.
