Mentionnons qu'il existe plusieurs sortes d'héroïne et que les variations phénotypiques et chimiques entre celles-ci sont susceptibles de jouer un rôle non négligeable au niveau des risques liés à leur consommation. Par exemple, l'héroïne blanche se dissout instantanément dans l'eau froide, l'héroïne brune qui est moins raffinée nécessite souvent l'utilisation d'un acidifiant avant d'être chauffée, et l'héroïne «goudronnée» communément appelée «black tar» nécessite un chauffage prolongé.
