Answer to Question 1

An experienced heroin user will smoke or inject because these routes produce a more intense high (because of a fast rate of onset) and less of the drug will be needed (because none will be metabolized by the stomach and/or liver). These routes are less safe for the inexperienced user because they have not built tolerance, and thus small drug doses with a fast onset are more likely to produce toxic effects.

Answer to Question 2

True
