The Good

Drug does have its own negative effects, but maybe these effects can be put into good use, and become a substitute for some extreme cases of medical emergency. Class A drug, heroin, is a fast acting opiate, a drug that comes from opium, and is a refined product of morphine. (National Drug Intelligence Center, 2003) We already know that morphine was and still is used as pain killers for severe or terminal illnesses such as cancer. However morphine does not always works, depending on individual patient's response to morphine. If heroin is a refined form of morphine, it is logical to give patients heroin when morphine does not respond to the particular patient.
