sunshaker Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 This looks rather interesting http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn27546-homebrew-heroin-soon-anyone-will-be-able-to-make-illegal-drugs.html?full=true#.VW9s3tJVhHx Researchers in the US have figured out how to make 'home-made' heroin using a modified form of sugar-fed yeast and an enzyme extracted from poppies, and warn law-enforcement officers that it’s only a matter of time before the drug hits the streets. Going to be an headache for law enforcement, I also wonder about the addiction level coming from yeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Assuming it is the same compound it would be, well, the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshaker Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Assuming it is the same compound it would be, well, the same. Unlike some drugs that are swallowed and which enter the body relatively slowly, heroin users typically employ fast delivery systems, including: Injection Snorting Smoking Suppository use These methods allow all of the power of heroin to hit the body in a gigantic wave that overwhelms and overpowers. Rather than feeling slightly impaired in a slow burn, users are suddenly vaulted into a new realm of experience. This is the sort of transformation the brain tends to remember, and it tends to make heroin much more addictive than other types of substances that enter the body through oral routes. I was thinking most young adults are wise enough not to dabble in heroin, but a heroin/cocanine brew i could see catching on with young clubbers/ravers, it takes away the stigma of needles, and if it is addictive has heroin there could be major problems ahead. Myself I think this news is world changing, a shift in power from drug cartels to independent brewers, What will the CIA do for revenue once this brew becomes a reality?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_CIA_drug_trafficking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Squared Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Heroin also crosses the blood brain barrier more efficiently than morphine, making it a most effective treatment for morphine addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
