Can herion kill you

Heroin (look for yourself in the library or online medical journals and sudy results) is not so bad for you. One of the most sever and chronic side effects of heroin is constipation. Heroin, unlike alcohol, does not destroy the liver and so on. Heroin becomes dangerous through how it is ingested and what it is cut with.

In countries with legal clinics where addicts can use, levels of HIV, DVT and 'needle related' illness / injury and infections dissipate because addicts have clean, available and controlled access to clean aparatus and surroundings...unlike addicts in countries in which heroin is illegal.

Overdose is most commonly caused due to the varying potency of 'street' heroin. Unlike alcohol for example which comes with a label telling you how strong it is, heroin bought illegally is neither pure, nor labelled. So an addict prepares a full bag or score =, yet it may be ten times stronger than the last bag they bought.

As well, 'cotton fever' and 'dirty hits' occassionally circulate in batches of heroin or are attributed to fibres and parasites within the types of cotton buds or filters used to draw heroin through. Both cotton fever and dirty hits propel the addict into a high fever and severe flu like symptoms, even hallucinations.

Smoking street heroin rots and discolours the teeth.

There are a lot of health problems caused by an addicts lifestyle, the legality of heroin and how heroin is used, but these are indirect...heroin itself causes few issues.

For example, a lot of addicts in countries where heroin is illegal are malnurished because of a combination of factors attributed or caused by the lifestyle which an addict has to adopt to feed their habit.
