Heroin Production. Most heroin originates from opium poppy farms in SW Asia (the Golden Crescent, primarily Afghanistan and Pakistan), SE Asia (the Golden Triangle, primarily in Myanmar), and Latin American (primarily Colombia).
Some believe that heroin produces more euphoria than other opioids; one possible explanation is the presence of 6-monoacetylmorphine, a metabolite unique to heroin â although a more likely explanation is the rapidity of onset. While other opioids of recreational use produce only morphine, heroin also leaves 6-MAM, also a psycho-active metabolite.
