Most people think heroin is illegal, and it's only made in illegal laboratories, and they don't know that heroin is not illegal. It's illegal in the sense most countries have taken it out of the pharmacopeia because they do not believe it has medicinal value. But it's not illegal to use it for scientific or medical reasons.

It's been part of the ordinary doctor's weapon against pain and that's how it is.
