- Abstract:
Chapter 4 of the book "Heroin & Other Opiates: Poppies' Perilous Children" is presented. It focuses on the dangers associated with the abuse of opioids. Besides feeling calm and happy, many users of heroin report having a dry mouth and a heavy feeling in all their extremities. Their mental functioning becomes clouded and breathing slows as the drug depresses the central nervous system. Opioid use has been connected with mood swings, lethargy, and depression.
