Heroin is a reference to the Marx quote: "Religion is the opiate of the masses". He is saying religion has "cut these fuses short", i.e. religion makes people more prone to becoming destructive.
"Ghetto stones instead of chains" is referring to black pop culture in the West. It's a sort of double play on the Rolling Stones (the band) and the phrase "rolling stone" as slang for a rootless person (from the proverb, "a rolling stone gathers no moss"). It's essentially a comparison of hip hop and slavery; children don't grow up in chains now, instead they all want to become Lil Wayne.
