VICODIN is legal and HEROINE is illegal (despite being more effective).

Darvocet is a vulnerable painkiller, does not do lots. Vicodin is better, and is created from hydrocodone. Percocet, from my journey, is the main suitable soreness reliever of the three. Percocet is oxycodone, and does not have the itchiness as a side result like the vicodin does. Darvocet is extremely reminiscent of a few advil, and is exceptionally lots ineffective whilst it includes treating extreme soreness. what style of soreness are you attempting to alleviate? I ask with the aid of fact i replaced into in a vehicle twist of destiny, and subsequently have been clinically determined with herniated lumbar discs, fibromyalgia, and myofascial soreness syndrome, all of which require large quantities of soreness killers. i've got been on all of them at one time or yet another, and have a exceptionally good understanding of what they do and don't do.

For starters, Vicodin is a prescription drug - meaning that it is legal for some citizens to use it. Heroin is not legal.
Secondly, Vicodin, in a way very similar to other painkillers, is addictive because it has hydrocodone in it, which is derived from opium. Heroin, on the other hand, is addictive because of its diacetylmorphine, which is also derived from opium. The two chemicals are very similar but diacetylmorphine is much, much stronger and more addictive. It also produces a much greater sense of euphoria. (Think of Vicodin as a really weak heroin.)
Vicodin, as most people would buy it on the street, comes in pill form and is thus usually only swallowed as a pill or snorted. I suppose you could smoke it, if you wanted to, but that would be silly. I'm pretty sure shooting it up would be out of the question. Heroin, however, can be taken in any form.

Vicodin is a pain reliever, also know as Lortab. It's a tylenol mix. It's legal, but requires a prescription. It does not give any sort of "high" unless the patient is allergic to it, then it causes an altered mental status.
Heroin is a central nervous system depressant. Could be considered a pain reliever by some, but not commonly used for that. It's usually used for the high. It's illegal, in case you didn't know. It's very easy to take too much and stop breathing. Not something to mess around with if you don't want to die.

Heroine is approximately 16 times stronger than pharmaceutical grade Morphine, depending on how it is cut.
Hydrocodone is the generic form of the drug found in Vicodin, Lortab, Norco and Lorcet. Both are sythetic derivitives of the cedeine molecule however "oxy" is almost always stronger than "hydro" in any situation.

Heroin crosses the blood-brain barrier. Vicodin and all other legal opiates do not.

one is completely illegal and is used only for illegal purposes the other one is used for pain relief but can be addictive and abused as well but has a legitament purpose if used properly.
