Why is heroin proved to be more effective than morphine and codeine?

Heroin is in its pure state and bonds to opiate receptors in the brain far better than morphine and codeine. Codeine is a derivative of opium where as heroin is actual opium. Codeine and Morphine are broken down and made relatively safe by pharmaceutical companies, where as heroin is made to be strong, without proper dosing. They both (codeine, morphine) bond differently than heroin and to less receptors in the brain, making them less effective, as well as addictive. Both are still very addictive, beware.
