>EAP - another fine heroin addict
EAP died decades before heroin was invented. Opium is NOT heroin.
IDIOT
Out of school this week?
Haven't taken chemistry yet?
Certainly don't know shit about history or Poe.
First hypodermic needle:
In the 1850s the French veterinary surgeon Charles Gabriel Pravaz and the Scottish doctor Alexander Wood developed a syringe. It had a hollow needle fine enough to pierce the skin. Syringe barrels were initially made of metal, but by 1866 they were made from glass (the needles remained metal). This enabled doctors to see what medication remained in the barrel.

That's after his death. They weren't even common until the fucking mid 1860's. Poe died years before the first one was fucking invented, moron.
Heroin is to opium what Fentynl is to Heroin, dipshit.
In earlier times, and to this day, opium is generally ingested as an alcohol infused syrup or smoked.
