A regular/heavy user of illicit opioids (and I doubt it's heroin, since that has mostly been replaced by fentanyl) will likely require more medication to retain anesthesia, and will certainly require more pain medication afterwards.
Methamphetamine causes such significant bad effects on heart, brain and liver that complications may be more likley- need to be honest with whoever the anesthetist is.
