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).
Heroin (diacetylmorphine) is derived from the morphine alkaloid found in opium and is roughly 2-3 times more potent. A highly addictive drug, heroin exhibits euphoric (rush), anxiolytic and analgesic central nervous system properties.
