Heroin, commonly called smack, is chemically diacetylmorphine. It is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound.

Smack is obtained by the acetylation of morphine, which is extracted from the latex of the poppy plant Papaver somniferum.

Hashish and Charas are cannabinoids obtained from the inflorescences of the plant Cannabis sativa.
