The definitions and terms that the general public and law enforcement use are the result of misinformation thanks to the war on drugs. This is something we need to correct because it contributes to the stigma attached to drug users which prevents them from seeking help.
It doesn't matter if some people can agree on something when that concept is objectively and demonstrably not only false but systemically harmful
PS alcohol is more harmful than heroin physiologically. Alcohol would be one of the 'hardest' if we were going by physiological and societal risk
Editing to add: we can't not include alcohol and nicotine in the general category of drugs. They are undeniably drugs and anyone who tells you otherwise is a victim of the previously mentioned misinformation
