I'm very sorry if you or someone you know have a complaint which means you have to use pain control. I knew a man some time ago who suffered from Multiple Sclerosis and was totally dependent until he smoked cannabis, when he could do much more, in fact it was amazing to see him.
Heroin is derived from morphine which comes from the opium poppy, and has benefits in providing pain relief. Cocaine is useful as an anaesthetic. All are beneficial for specific use but not as a mind altering recreational tool. All are legal when used for specific medicinal reasons but are controlled drugs. I do not see any valid reason to legalise any more mind altering substances for recreational purposes than we already have and I have not yet seen any argument which would persuade me otherwise based on my own professional experience.
