Heroin

 Heroin can kill. Heroin is one of the top two frequently reported drugs by medical examiners in  drug abuse deaths.

Before you risk it..

 Know the law. Heroin is an illegal Schedule I drug, meaning that it is in the group of the most  highly addictive drugs.

 Get the facts. Any method of heroin use - snorting, smoking, swallowing or injecting the drug -  can cause immediate harm and lead to addiction.

 Stay informed. The untimely deaths of several popular musicians and other celebrities may
 have influenced many young people to stay away from heroin use, but to other, the dangers are still
 not clear.

 Know the risk. Because the strength of heroin varies and it's impact is more unpredictable
 when used with alcohol or other drugs, the user never knows what might happen with the next dose.
