Heroin really took off in the 1950's and 1960's. It has been around longer, and can be used, legally, as an analgesic (pain killer). It is, chemically, a cousin of morphine, and preferred to morphine in the clinical setting due to it's lesser side-effects. However, in the illicit form, it is purer, and much more dangerous and addictive.
The use of marijuana in many cultures has been popular for centuries. Even in America pre-1930s, marijuana was used in over the counter "remedies". However, the fear of marijuana introduced into the lives of Americans via Propaganda ads and false facts and was deemed illegal in 1931.
During the rebellious 1960's, the recreational use of marijuana became widespread and embraced by the counterculture. It was the 60's the not only marked the change in perspective for many Americans but also conceptualized the stereotype of the marijuana user.
In 1996, California became the first state to legalize marijuana and to this day, a total of 14 states legalized weed for medicinal purposes.
It became popular in the UK after a newspaper published the results of a 1971 court hearing. It was ruled out that naturally occurring mushrooms were not part of the act and were legal to possess and sell. Beforehand, it was considered a "poor man's LSD", since the effects are less intensive. But the mushrooms were free and there has been no harm since then.
Despite this, the majority of the population knew nothing about psilocybin and it was still not as popular ecstasy, alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, LSD and other recreationals. After the 3rd millennium, many people in the UK were selling fresh mushrooms in stores and over the internet, due to a loophole in the law. On July 2005, all magic mushrooms were outlawed to class A and the subject is rarely talked about openly these days.

First of all, one should never try heroin. You can become addicted the first time you try it. If you do become addicted, help can be reached. One should seek out the advice of rehabilitation centers specializing in heroin addictions.
Heroin is a tremendously dangerous drug; those who become addicted to it will wind up sacrificing everything else for the drug. There is no creature on Earth more pathetic than a heroin addict.
the term bundle applies specifically to ten bags of .10 grams of heroin. so a bundle is 1 gram of heroin divided into ten bags.
No, heroin does not directly cause dehydration or thirst, but priorities may become warped when the user is high, causing them to miss opportunities to eat or drink.
The brown sugar drug is a version of heroin, popular in India.
Heroin is popular due to its being inexpensive and widely available. Normal "fixes" are only $10 per dose, and every town has an area (if not many areas) where heroin can be picked up on any street corner. Also adding to the popularity is the ability to snort the drug or smoke it, which is quick to get to the high without any parphernalia like rolling papers, bongs, bottles or blades.
In books, (sometimes) they just save the world and become heroes or heroine.
They become popular when people start talking about them.
a lot of reasons. a lot of excuses. to fill an empty void. to feel good. to escape reality. because, for kids, it's easier to get than alcohol. although heroin is highly addictive, not everyone who uses heroin becomes addicted. a lot of people who use heroin are chippys and use it occasionally without become physically addicted.
The two most popular narcotic drugs involved in substance abuse are heroin and prescription opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone. Heroin is an illegal opioid derived from morphine, while prescription opioids are often misused due to their addictive properties. Both drugs can lead to dependence, overdose, and other serious health issues.
You can become popular by being super nice to everyone compliment everybody.
