It |
| Description | -Heroin
can either be smoked in a tobacco based joint or by heating up on tin
foil("chasing") -When chasing, the powder is placed on tin foil & heated. It formsan oil, which runs along the foil, leaving a trail of black residue. As it evaporates, it is inhaled through a tin foil tube or rolled up bank note. -Heroin powder can also be sniffed or prepared for injection -Smoking is less dangerous than sniffing or injecting. It enters the body gradually so the dose can be more easily controlled. Injecting is the most risky way to use heroin |
