In my own words heroin is a drug that is a chemical blend formed from morphine, which is a natural substance that is taken from a poppy plants seed. This drug is usually in a white or brown powder that is inhaled, smoked, injected, or snorted. In 2011, 1.6% of people used heroin at lest once, but 23% who used it became dependent on it. The problem is how is medical heroin better than something regular heroin users have. They are both harmful and people are still addicted to it. Although when given by a doctor, it prevents the crime of getting it off the street and its more likely to be clean.
