> that heroin is going to invariably screw you over in the long term I understand that about 60% of heroin users can use it recreationally in the way you or I would have a few drinks then stop because we know our limit. That figure came from a letter in mewscientist mag but I can't find it, so treat with skepticism. I get the impression its reputation for certain and terrible addiction is the from anti-drugs campaigns and they aren't reliable, by design.
