Heroin has been classified as having no medicinal purpose at all, so it's been removed from the pharmacopoeia and there's no use for it officially. Unofficially, there's an illegal market for it. Any possession, any sale, any production or import is illegal and will constitute a crime. It can put you in prison for a long time.
