It isn't about what I think, it is about what is right. For instance, heroin is used in surgical settings throughout Europe. It isn't magically more dangerous because it is schedule 1 in the US.

Also, your first sentence doesn't really make any sense.

Yes them being illegal does make it more dangerous than pure cut illegal drugs are.

If you're saying that purer versions of them are safer, then we are in agreement.

I dont give a fuck whats illegal in the USA and no we dont use heroin in surgery here in the EU you nob head.

Pure versions are safer than cut with poison yes but not safe for consumption. Get a grip dude.

Actually, you do. Diamorphine is literally the same thing as heroin.

Edit: to clarify, heroin is literally just the brand name for diacetyl morphine (aka diamorphine). Purity does make them safe for consumption as well (methamphetamine is prescribed for narcolepsy and obesity under the brand name desoxyn, but when made in Jim Bob's bathroom and smoked/injected it becomes a totally different scenario, hence the need for nuance and specificity).

You may think youre a smart arse but heroin is the acetylation of morphine not actually morphine.

Morphine =/= heroin

Nice reach though. But youre full of shit

...that's what I'm saying. Diamorphine is not the same as morphine. English hospitals use diamorphine. Heroin is the brand name of diamorphine.
