How does heroin affect me?

Once someone becomes addicted to heroin, it is very hard to stop using it.

This is especially dangerous because, if someone uses too much heroin, they can “overdose.” An overdose is what it’s called when someone uses too much of a drug and it harms them. Heroin overdoses can cause vomiting, lack of oxygen to the brain, and even death.
