I've never done it. I'm just trying to point out that there is a large amount of misinformation about heroin and other drugs.

Maybe has something to do with the War on Drugs campaign held by the American government. The misinformation is also caused by the lack of scientific research on most kinds of drugs.
One of the few exceptions is THC/Mary Jane; research has shown it helps against pain. And when you have Multiple Sclerose (hope I got that one right) it really helps reducing cramps/shaking.
When you have cancer and get chemo therapy most ppl feel sick and do not want to eat. Smoking a joint can help then.
In Holland you can even get Mary Jane on the doctor's advise. A friend of mine had a ganja description and went every week to the pharmacist to get her grass.
