Even if purer heroin addict is becoming more common, most heroin on the street is "cut" with other substances such as sugar, starch, powdered milk or quinine and also other drugs. Because heroin users don't know the actual strength of the heroin or its real contents, users are at risk of heroin overdose or dying from their usage. Heroin also poses different problems cause of the transmission of HIV and other diseases that can happen from sharing needles or other heroin injection equipment. Heroin is mostly injected, sniffed/snorted, or smoked. Typically, a heroin user may inject heroin up to four different times during a day. Heroin intravenous injection provides the greatest intensity and most rapid onset of euphoria, while heroin intramuscular injection produces a slower onset of euphoria. When heroin is sniffed or smoked, peak effects are mostly happening within 10 to 15 minutes. Although smoking and sniffing heroin don't produce a "rush" as fast or as intense as an intravenous injection, NIDA researchers confirmed that all three forms of heroin administration are really addictive.

Heroin injection continues to be the main method of heroin usage among addicted abusers seeking treatment; however, researchers have observed a shift in heroin usage patterns, from injection to sniffing and smoking. In fact, sniffing/snorting heroin is now the most widely reported way of taking heroin among users admitted for heroin rehabs in Newark, Chicago, and New York.

Opium has important narcotic properties. Its constituents and derivatives are used as painkillers. Therefore, legal opium production is allowed under the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and other international substance treaties, subject to strict supervision by the law enforcement agencies of individual nations. The leading legal producer of opium is the Gregory process, where the complete poppy, excluding roots and leaves, is mashed and stewed in dilute acid solutions. The alkaloids are then recovered by Acid/Base extraction and purified.

A recent proposal from the European Senlis Council hopes to solve the issues caused by the important quantity of opium produced illegally in Afghanistan, most of which is converted to heroin, and smuggled for sale in Europe and the USA. This proposal is to license Afghan farmers to produce opium for the nationwide pharmaceutical market, and thereby solve another issue, that of chronic under use of potent analgesics where required within developing nations. In the industrialized world, the USA is the world's biggest user of prescription opioids, with Italy one of the lowest.

To this end, Senlis arranged a conference in Kabul, to discuss the idea, but it is still to be seen if this will happen; internal security and corruption issues within Afghanistan make it unlikely that they soon will be capable to meet the stringent UN requirements for legal production of opioids for export. If the record of CIA interference with attempts to "buy and burn" illegal Burmese opium harvests in the past is considered (McCoy, 1991), Afghanistan's opium may be an important part of the current war on drugs policies for some time.
