That's bollocks
pure heroin is pretty much harmless, if massively addictive. It's only the fact that addicts generally have no idea of purity that leads to fatalities.

It isn't bollocks
If you're talking about the pure substance then most drugs will be harmless if taken in the right dose - look at the sheer number of illegal drugs that have a legitimate use. The study tries to take into account what happens once dealers/users/the public get their hands on the drugs. Hence why heroin is the most dangerous.

I've never had a problem with it, physically, other than withdrawal if I've been using heavily
i found it pleasant, and harmless really. I never banged it though, only booted.
