He**in is a highly habit forming substance. A person may start using out of curiosity, because they are looking for a way to escape from stress in their lives or as a way to deal with painful issues. People become physically dependent on the drug. Once the body gets used to its presence, the user must keep ingesting he**in in order to avoid going into withdrawal symptoms. At that point, the person is no longer in control of his or her drug use and is being controlled by an addiction to it instead. Every time the addict uses he**in, he or she is risking an overdose and other health consequences, since it's impossible to determine how pure street he**in is or what other substances it has been cut with. The biggest risk is death from overdose. It's impossible to judge the purity of street he**in. Many accidental overdoses have occurred when a batch of particularly pure he**in is released onto the streets, overwhelming the built-up tolerances of even the most regular users.
