‘diacetylmorphine’
(INN)
‘diamorphine’
(BAN)
or, especially in older literature, as morphine diacetate,
is an opioid drug synthesized from morphine, which is a derivative of the ‘opium poppy’)
injection, also known as “slamming”, “banging”, “shooting up” or “mainlining”, is a popular method used by addicts which carries relatively greater risks than other methods of administration.
Diacetylmorphine base (commonly found in Europe), when prepared for injection will only dissolve in water when mixed with an acid (most commonly citric acid powder or lemon juice) and heated.
Diacetylmorphine in the United States is most commonly found in the hydrochloride salt form, requiring just water to dissolve.
Users tend to initially inject in the easily accessible arm veins, but as these veins collapse over time, through damage caused by the acid, the user will often resort to injecting in other veins.
Intravenous users can use a various single dose range using a hypodermic needle.
The dose of diacetylmorphine used for recreational purposes is dependant on the frequency and level of use, thus a first-time user may use between 5 and 20 mg, while an addict may require several hundred mg per day.
As with the injection of any drug, if a group of users share a common needle without sterilization procedures, blood-borne diseases, such as HIV or hepatitis, can be transmitted.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime claims in its 2008 World Drug Report that typical US retail prices are US $172 per gram
heroin
(diacetylmorphine (INN))
also known as diamorphine (BAN), is a semi-synthetic opioid drug synthesized from morphine, a derivative of the opium poppy. it is the 3,6-diacetyl ester of morphine (di (two)-acetyl-morphine). the white crystalline form is commonly the hydrochloride salt diacetylmorphine hydrochloride, though often adulterated thus dulling the sheen and consistency from that to a matte white powder, which heroin freebase typically is.
*90% of heroin is said to be produced in afghanistan*
as with other opioids, heroin is used as both a pain-killer and a recreational drug and has an extremely high potential for abuse. frequent and regular administration is associated with tolerance, moderate physical dependence, and severe psychological dependence.
internationally, heroin is controlled under schedules I and IV of the single convention on narcotic drugs. it is illegal to manufacture, possess, or sell diacetylmorphine without a license in belgium, denmark, germany, iran, india, the netherlands, the united states, australia, canada, ireland, pakistan, the UK and swaziland.
under the name diamorphine, it is a legally prescribed controlled drug in the UK
it is available for prescription to long-term users in the netherlands, UK, switzerland, germany and denmark alongside psycho-social care, and a similar program is being campaigned for by liberal political parties in norway

Then I walked her to her dorm in Quincy but she didn’t invite me upstairs.
That was pretty fucking embarrassing / countless nights standing in the middle of a college courtyard, groveling, groveling, groveling while the gals have assumed the upper hand).
