The United Kingdom uses heroin medically. Some drugs we use for ADHD or narcolepsy are pretty close cousins to meth.
The difference, in these cases, between good and bad is some regulation and a lot of education and training. I'm not at all for doing away with the CSA and our drug schedules. $0.02 I am all for occasionally reviewing things on a case-by-case basis for appropriateness. This is what we do.
If generalmeow (or anyone) seems to think heroin is such a public welfare bonanza, I would strongly urge them to volunteer in a methadone clinic for a week or two and see how these things affect lives.
