That is true I would not make heroin or anything for that matter, I don't have any lab equiptment anyway or any place to set it up. But its a good synthesis problem, mabey when I have some time I'll solve it. And I agree that making opiates would definitely bring the DEA into your home pretty quickly. There probably litte info about it cause no one has figured it out, let alone fiqure out the equilibrium, optimum conditions and relative quantites of reagents involved in the procedure.
