Take a step back and look at the big picture. "No man is an island" which in this case is, one's actions affect other people.
I'm all for recreational use of drugs, alcohol being mine, however, driving drunk doesn't only affect myself, it affects everyone around me.
Moderate use (of many drugs) probably doesn't affect that many people to an extent that it's a problem. On the other hand, look at the effects of Krocodile (don't look at images if you have a weak stomach), you can't tell me that that drug has no affects on Society.
Therefore, some drugs shouldn't be available without heavy restrictions.

If one did it properly, and filtered out impurities and solvents, the desomorphine would be fine to use/sell in stores. It's not the active drug that's dangerous, it's the contaminants left over from uneducated people making it in the slums of Russia that are dangerous.
