What are the side effects of smoking black tar heroin?

Black tar can contain a variable percentage of heroin, but despite the name, what makes Black Tar specific as a type is not actually its heroin (diacetylmorphine) content, but rather the greater mixture of lesser acetylated morphine derivatives-predominantly 6-MAM (6-monoacetylmorphine) and 3-MAM (3-monoacetylmorphine). This is caused by the use of the antiquated Wright-Beckett process (c. 1874), which produces a relatively crude and unrefined opiate product but does not require the complex lab equipment, high-purity acetylating chemicals or lengthy reflux steps necessary to produce pure heroin, making it attractive to clandestine drug producers.


What is monoacetylmorphine?

Ms contin Oxycontin Oxydone Endone Kapanol Actually, MS Contin and Kapanol are the only oral drugs that are listed above that contain morphine. MS Contin and Kapanol are time-release versions. Another time-release version is Kadian. The other common oral drug that contains morphine is MS IR, which is the immediate-release version. Morphine is more commonly given in intravenious form, especially in a hospital setting, especially in a time-drip release form. But the other drugs listed above do NOT contain morphine. OxyContin, Oxydone, Endone and another drug, OxyIR contain oxycodone, not morphine. Oxycodone is considerably more potent than morphine, in a dose-for-dose comparison. Percodan and Percocet contain a low-dose amount of oxycodone combined with aspirin or paracetamol (acetaminophen), respectively.
