- Heroin officially referred to as diamorphine or more properly as diacetylmorphine is a semi-synthetic opioid most commonly used for recreational purposes in the United States. Heroin still finds use in some other countries as treatment for acute and post-operative pain as well as palliative therapy for the terminally ill.
Known by the street names as horse, smack, brown or junk, heroin has a half life in the body of about 30 minutes but may remain active for 4-5 hours. Depending of the route of administration it may provide users an intense rush or high with the onset as soon as several seconds after intravenous injection or smoking. Alternatively the rush or pleasurable sensation may be delayed for more than 10 minutes after sniffing the drug.
Associated with the initial rush many users note watery eyes, runny nose, warm flushed skin, severe itching, sweating and loss of appetite. After these initial effects of heroin, drowsiness lasts several hours with some describing a trance like state associated with head nodding due to the resulting sleepiness.
Of more concern, heroin may significantly slow the heart rate and lead to severe slowing of the respiratory rate. At times decreased breathing may lead to potentially irreversible brain damage.
In the body, heroin is converted to morphine. However unique to heroin is the metabolically active breakdown product - 6 monoacetylmorphine - which may be associated with the initial euphoria and preference of abusers for heroin rather than morphine.
Fear of infection and other consequences of heroin use limits the percent of users injecting heroin to about 45-50% - a number constant over the decades. Other routes of administration include smoking, snorting and either intramuscular or subcutaneous injections. Most heroin addicts also abuse other illicit drugs. Heroin may even be purchased in pill form. The majority of heroin sold in America originates in Mexico or Colombia.
He knows EVERYTHING about Heroin
Damn. This doctor sure knows his drug terminology. 😂
He's a veritable walking medical encyclopaedia!
When I listen to this doctor, I feel I am getting it straight. Why he only has 23K subscribers is a mystery to me.
because people's are generally dumb and ignorant, and they dont won't to learn anything.
He passed away
Been binge watching this Dr's TH-cam videos and they are incredible.
"It also goes by names of Horse and Smack and Brown and Junk and Hell Dust and Cheese."
Lmao
My best friend / partner of 11 years overdosed on heroin in January 2021. He had stopped using years ago and just restarted. I suspect he may have taken the old dose he was tolerant too and this led to his overdose. He was in a car with other people and lay there over an hour before they realized he was dead. They thought he was sleeping. Please think about others in your life if you choose to use. The pain is indescribable.
AIDS come for us all brother
Sorry for your loss. My neice just 26 years old overdosed on heroin in May of 2021. Such a sad situation
DR KEN used to have a local practice & show in Vegas in the 80's ! He has definitely been around the block a few times !
damn he really knows his shit lmao
It's almost impossible to get proper pain management meds these days. The opioid crackdown is one of the most cruel things the US government has done in the last 100 years.
Look up kratom, it's way safer than opiates
@@JGD185 No, it isn't. It's also not nearly as effective. If you like Kratom that's fine but I'll stick with opiates. Opiates are a miracle.
Wish this guy sat with me through opiate withdrawal lol sheesh
I really love the thing that you are extremely objective. Big respect!
Good topic👏
Your videos are the best! Your ability to explain the medicinal and real world; regarding this drug is impressive. Thanks for sharing.
I was a cop in East Los Angeles when I was younger, it was not uncommon to see someone dead in an alley or slum hotel with the needle still in their infected arm. This was the 1990s before Fentanyl.
I did heroin among other opioids in the past and all I can say is that everything he says is totally true
Because they don’t know about him I’m just finding out about him thank you Dr for a better explanation and understanding of theses issues I have abroad understanding too help me make a better decision for myself
You should do one on Adolphin.
RIP Sir! a huge loss to the world a wealth of knowledge go to Neptune and light a candle of love and respect for him❤️
Could you please talk about Cushing's syndrome? Thank you Dr. Landow.
Youre amazing
My father almost got discharged from army because they gave it to him after a bone fracture in Germany.
Could you make a video about cocaine?
Yees
Why is there a double standard regarding opium? People say weed, mushrooms, etc are natural and should be legal. But nobody says "legalize opium". I think it would help people taper off from heroin...
It used to come from Turkey and Marseles France.
U go from feeling like super man to crippled old man
And u can in fact over dose even when snorting this stuff nothing is worth being alive
Nice
You seem like an experienced purchaser...
I wonder if he's tried things for purely scientific purposes.
He tried heroin anally, for research purposes
Diamorphine combined with iv administration is its main difference to morphine.
@@Cbd_7ohm Codeine is metabolised into morphine.
What about desomorphine
all bits of information in one scientific video .. explains some of not that well known facts about LIFELONG NIGHTMARE OR/AND CONSEQUENCES .. stay away folks ..
Do dextromethorphan or promethazine
@@Cbd_7ohm I know pal I think they'd be interesting drugs for these videos thats all.
Hell yeah. They are fun, if you know what you’re doing.
sonicblast123 lol you’re not using it right
sonicblast123 lol you’re not using it right, and we were talking about it with dxm. I’m not going to waste my morning replying to you. Good day!
I'm recovering from heroin for 3 years and I still have back pain it's than chronic pain? pls thank u for replying
Research kratom, way safer than opiates. If youre going to use it use the natural powder which comes from the leaf, not the extract.
Do a vid on pure raw opium
I think a good LSD update is in order. Do people still do that drug?
No. It doesn’t really exist anymore. Too bad. I did it 10-12 times in the 90s and had an absolute blast every time.
@@Umberto2 Man, that is so not true. Tons and tons of people still drop acid all the time. There's a HUGE market for it. Plus it's becoming more and more accepted by the medical community for substance abuse, depression, PTSD treatments, which compounds the general public's notion that, "Hey, if I drop acid that will make me a better person." Same goes for Psilocybin (Magic Mushrooms). There is a real resurgence of psychedelics in today's world, especially among millenials (college campuses, music festivals, nightclubs, etc.) and the whole online self-help community is looking at it through these shiny-eyed lenses of New Age-y awakening and trauma processing type thinking. Not to mention ease of access with dark/gray-market purchasing through cryptocurrencies, and the host of analogous chemicals that have been derived that produce similar effects (1P-LSD, 4-Aco-DMT, 5-MeO-MiPT, etc.) Even legislatively/legally there have been a lot of shifts. The District of Columbia recently decriminalized magic mushrooms for christ's sake. I'm not sure where you got the notion that "it doesn't really exist anymore." I'm quite certain that since the 90s it's only been more and more widely used, if anything.
Mushrooms dmt lsd yes everyone does
Did lsd 2 years ago, was good time. Did ecstasy last summer was amazing.
@@Umberto2 what? Are you living behind the moon🌙? 😅
About it having the best rush. In my opinion Oxycodone gives a better rush. I suspect Oxycodone has some kind of Secondary effect on Dopamine other opiates do not have. After first dose of Oxycodone it feels very similar to cocaine.
Heroin, it destroyed my youth. Especially with cocaine. Fifteen years of IV speedballing...I almost have no veins left. I'm twelve years clean, anyway. Methadone saved me.
Good point, it should never be used recreationally. It should be strictly limited to ER patients with extreme pain.
@@MattCantu76 I couldn't agree more. Often people forget that diamorphine is only a kind of morphine which kicks in faster. That's all. So it really is an absolutely amazing painkiller and I'm obviously, talking about the medical, pure form, not about street smack. It should be used as they already do in the UK, as a pain treatment for cancer patients. They don't even feel the high.
Cheers
p. s. : same is meant for methadone, which is a LIFE SAVER, really, cause I wouldn't be here typing otherwise,at least in my case. But if you use it recreationally, you are feeding a monkey that will turn into a silverback!
@@Cbd_7ohm It's not about being an injection maniac, it's about the shite they use as cut. Who said war on drugs works?
@@Cbd_7ohm I do agree with you!
Kratom
Omg it help me with my server chronic back n neck pain n diabetes nerve pain but I use suboxone naloxone not straight heroin but is part of that drug I just don't get hight it just take my server chronic pain I have no choice I had tried so much other med but don't work at all what happen people abuse it to get hight n is cheap than going to a doctor that had make me spend money on medication that don't work at all
Why isn't there an extended release form of naloxone?
That would basically be the same thing and naltrexone or vivitrol one shot and ur on the bench for a long time lol
Extended release formulations are mostly pills and rarely depo injections, naloxone cant be taken up orally, so its easier to use naltrexone for a longer opioid antagonist effect. Also naloxones short duration is ideal for emergency situations since you can administer until an overdose ends instead of having the patient withdraw for an unecessary amount of time
Fentanyl patch for Cancer/tumor ...is fantanyl related to heroin?
They are both opioids, but fentanyl is synthetic and hundreds times stronger than heroin. Diamorphine (heroin) is a semi-synthetic opiod, morphine-derived.
@@MrGothic78 what will help with fentanol withdrawal so cancer patient can get proper medication from doctor before it's to late ? Thank you 🙏 in advance
@@positivethinker2855 Sorry to hear that. Yes, it's a strong synthetic opiod, it's very potent. It only takes a few hours to feel complete analgesia, and doctors use to prescribe the so called "rescue dose", along with fentanyl patches. It can oral morphine (immediate release), or oxycodone (i. r.), hydrmorphone(i. r.). They are used when you start a fentanyl therapy, and the medication has not kicked in yet, or during those days, along with fentanyl, when pain is particularly intense.
My pleasure, sending love from Europe
@@positivethinker2855 Methadone or buprenorphine can help
@@MrGothic78 Doctor can prescribe right?
Some people call it Hair Ron .
