I'm in Year 9 in England, so I think I'm about the same age as you.
We're meant to get anywhere between 1 and half to 2 and a half hours each night, sometimes it's a little more, sometimes we barely get any.
However, since I don't go to school full-time (doctor's orders), I don't get that much.

Only an hour and a half?  You have it easy.  Most kids have at least half an hour for each of their classes, and often more.

I go to school once a week, from 8am-3pm on Tuesdays, and that's it. But for homework I have to read approx. 30 pages of Biology, do 20 question study guide, and answer about 15-20 questions. I have to read 5 chapters of History (about 13 pages or so total) and answer about 30-40 questions for that. Read maybe 6 chapters of a book, depending on the week. Do 2 pages of grammar. Some weeks I have like a 3 page paper to write on top of that. I have to do an Algebra lesson everyday (takes me about 20 minutes) and I have Photography too (about 5-10 pictures and a journal entree) But keep in mind I have a whole week to do all of this.

So for a whole weeks worth, It's about 8 or 9 hours of work.

I go to school from 8 am - 3:30 pm.

I'll do mine by week, 'cause.. It's easier to explain that way. In a typical week, outside of actual school hours, I have to:
- Read a chapter in the book we're reading (these are like 50 - 70 page chapters)
- Write 2 to 3 essays ("short" essays, 2 - 3 pages)
- Read 1 or 2 chapters in a smaller book and take notes on it (these are like 10 page chapters)
- Read short stories (sometimes one, sometimes 2, sometimes 3; anywhere from like 3 to 20 pages, these we normally only get one night to read, and usually we have to take notes on 'em)
- Read and highlight an essay (for sociology)
- Do a couple of chemistry worksheets
- Do about 40 questions out of my chemistry textbook (this is more like every two weeks; she gives us a good amount of time to work on it)

Our stuff is split up by 6 weeks, and once a 6 weeks I also have to:
- Write a major essay (these are 4 - 5 page essays)
- Do a major project
- Read 100 pages in a historical novel & do 12 notecards summarizing (for history)
- Go to a historical site & write a 2 page paper on it (again, for history)
- Watch a "historical" movie & write a 2 page paper on it (for history)
- Write "brilliant stuff" about what I've discovered in sociology (anywhere from 2 - 4 pages)

So... yeah. It kinda sucks.
Plus I work, almost every night, don't get off anywhere from 8 - 10 depending on the night and all that.
So when I get in bed by midnight, I do a happy dance.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.
