I am not so sure that even in a controlled environment that this is a good idea. The fact these people get up from their "treatment" and return to work frightens me. I am not sure they should be able to leave until the side effects wear off. Besides, heroin is a rather dangerous narcotic. I would think that it is too dangerous even for doctors to prescribe.

FTA: "In a few minutes most get up and leave. Those who have jobs go back to work."

Pretty stereotype-smashing. No nodding off allowed? Of the twenty or so heroin users I've known in my life, only three have died, all upon release from jail. The others are fine. From a doctor and several lawyers to cab drivers. Of course those are all back in the US.
No doubt there's danger, but I don't think the addicts will be walking into pharmacies and picking up a months supply. I think they'll keep it in the clinic where it will be administered.
Dirty heroin is far more dangerous than pharmaceutical grade, though.
