The history of Heroin

For that research about hard drugs, to begin, I decided to search about the historical aspect of it. To know what I researched on, I found it interesting to know where it comes from and why. One of the hard drugs, that is use from some drug addict is the heroin created in the 1800 century. That drug was made from morphine, a medical product that was often use as a drug. At first, the heroin was created to stop the addiction to the morphine. In those years, scientifics were not conscious of the different side effects that those drugs could have on their patients, an example of that is Freud, who prescribed cocain to his patients before knowing all the after-effects that it could have on them. At the beginning, heroin was sell on pharmacies tablets, it is years later that they remove the drugs from pharmacies because it was forbidden. The first producers of heroin was the Afghanistan, it was still legal to produce it but it was more control.

I am very surprise about that historical fact, to see that the scientists do not looked at the side effects before giving it to their patients in need.
