Original Note:
This statement is misleading. While heroin was originally developed as a medicine and has limited historical use in medical settings (such as a painkiller in the early 20th century), it is highly addictive, dangerous, and illegal in most countries. https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-and-analysis/bulletin/bulletin_1953-01-01_2_page004.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroin https://medicine.yale.edu/news/yale-medicine-magazine/article/from-cough-medicine-to-deadly-addiction-a-century/
