Heroin or putaw is a drug that is processed from morphine, a natural substance from the seed extract of certain varieties of poppy seeds. According to the BNN survey results, Heroin is the 4th most consumed type of drug in Indonesia.
Heroin is an opium drug that suppresses several central nervous system functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and regulation of body temperature. Heroin also creates an euphoric effect (extreme happiness). When someone stops using heroin, the effect is in the form of extreme sadness and depression, and emotional emptiness.
Long-term use of heroin has been shown to cause brain damage. However, heroin drug addicts who suddenly stop using, usually experience symptoms of cancer first before their bodies can completely rid themselves of the rest of heroin.
