Preliminary observations and responses to interviews in Valencia, Spain reveal that injecting drug users (IDUs) dissolve heroin before injection with two or three drops of lemon juice. Solution in lemon juice makes heating of heroin in water unnecessary. This pattern apparently developed spontaneously in Spain, but is almost unknown elsewhere in the world. Its implications for IDUs' health remain speculative, but use of lemon juice to dissolve heroin for injection deserves further scientific study.
在西班牙巴伦西亚进行的初步观察以及对访谈的回应显示，注射吸毒者（IDUs）在注射前会用两三滴柠檬汁溶解海洛因。用柠檬汁溶解海洛因无需在水中加热。这种方式显然是在西班牙自发形成的，但在世界其他地方几乎无人知晓。其对注射吸毒者健康的影响仍属推测，但用柠檬汁溶解海洛因用于注射值得进一步开展科学研究。
