Can you sniff heroine? |

Heroin is an addictive drug made from morphine which is commonly known on the street as smack, H, ska and junk. It causes a state of euphoria often followed by drowsiness. Heroin can be taken orally, snorted, injected or smoked. It is very addicting and has very bad withdrawal symptoms. It is believed that heroin abuse can start as early age 12 years old or even younger. Drug abuse is serious: if you or anyone you know needs help, you can contact Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration at 1-800-662-HELP (1-800-662-4357).
