| | | | Heroin - Risks of non-medical abuse of heroin: Encyclopedia II - Heroin - Drug interactions Opiates are strong central nervous system depressants, but regular users develop physiological tolerance allowing gradually increased dosages.

Alder Wright, a British chemist working at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, London. He had been experimenting with combining morphine with various acids.
