This morphine derivative became popular in 2003, after Russia crackedown on heroin production and trafficking.

It is 8-10 times more potent than morphine. (n early human studies of pure desomorphine, the effects of 1 mg were approximately equivalent to the effects of 10 mg of morphine when the substances were injected under the skin. - (Eddy NB, Halbach H, Braenden OJ. "Synthetic Substances with Morphine-Like Effect". Synthetic Substances with Morphine-Like Effect 1957; 17:569-863)

Taken orally or injected.

Short acting effects, requires more frequent usage.
