  • Heroin was first created in Bayer, Germany in 1898.
  • Heroin is extracted from Opium Poppy.
  • First use of poppy can be traced back to the fertile crescent, specifically to Iran and Iraq.
  • Although selling the plant is illegal in almost every part of the world, this has not stopped people around the world from farming poppies and creating heroin. Especially in these areas:
    • Southeast + Southwest Asia
    • Mexico
    • South America
    • Central Africa
  • The amount of opium produced has doubled ever since 1980.
