Pure heroin is a white powder with a bitter taste.
Most heroin is distributed in powder form and may vary in color from white to dark brown due to the impurities left from the manufacturing process or the presence of additives and diluting agents. Heroin is illegal in the U.S. for any use. However, it too was soon found to produce a severe dependency very quickly. Heroin and opiates were made illegal in 1915 with the Harrison Narcotic Act, which controlled the sale of opium and opium derivatives, and cocaine. Black tar heroin is sold by the gram weight.
