In the US it is incredibly difficult to do a study on marijuana, one of the "softest" drugs around, because of government red tape.
I'm not convinced that your assertion of heroin being more addictive to morphine is truth. Oxy is dangerous, because people think since their doctor gave them a prescription it poses no risks. This is linked to the FDA publishing articles saying that opiate addiction isn't present with the use of oxycodone, these have since been proven misleading and inaccurate. I'm in the US, and yes, you need a prescription for codeine, though I am aware this is not the case in Australia.

Yet you are so keen to point out meth, which is used to treat ADHD...
