These are terrible drugs really capable of a terrible destruction, even on adults. One can spend a few months having a beer every day without any problems and stop easily, however, heroin won't let you do that, you will need bigger dosage just after 1 month of 1 use per day and from there its a deadly spiral. These are indeed terrible drugs and I can give first hand testimony. And moderation isn't an issue here since these bad boys take control of you, not the other way around.People harm themselves all the time on damn near anything.
I have seen many strong minds thinking they can control heroin consumption, and all have failed... miserably.
Thing is, drugs require a proper mind set and environmental setting. Which is where harm creeps in - insufficient education and lack of mentoring. I've personally mentored others over weed, salvia and robotripping and I've never stopped being gung ho about safety. I've literally caught people when they fall multiple times and ask them to do the same for others.
Amphetamines aren't a problem if used correctly. I'm in favor of legalization of those - once again, education is the key.
Heroin and a few others, I am completely against, because of the physical dependence factor, where the body really can't function without the drug after a while.
We must consider harm to self, harm to others and hardness to quit. Legalize off of that.
