The biggest physical danger of heroin use is the risk of overdose. The main reason people overdose is because of the adulterants - they don't know how potent the stuff is. x mg of batch A might be a good high, whereash x mg of batch B will kill you from an overdose.
Even if the adulterants are themselves safe, the presence of them is a risk to the users, because they make it impossible to determine dosage.
