Heroin is an opioid. Opioid.s are very powerful painkiller. The body and the brain are packed with opioid receptors, meant for endorphins, the body’s own natural pain-killing substances produced in emergency moments of shock or injury.
Heroin mimicks endorphines and binds rapidly with endorphine receptors, extending and magnifying their natural painkilling effect. The result is a surge of pleasurable sensation, or “rush.” This rush is usually accompanied by a warm feeling and a sense of well-being.
