> that heroin is going to invariably screw you over in the long term

I understand that about 60% of heroin users can use it recreationally in the way you or I would have a few drinks then stop because we know our limit.

That figure came from a letter in mewscientist mag but I can't find it, so treat with skepticism. I get the impression its reputation for certain and terrible addiction is the from anti-drugs campaigns and they aren't reliable, by design.



Granted, I don't believe that demographic (60% can use recreationally without issue) are the ones already filling the streets...
