Either-or: Heroin vs Meth

There is high quality meth...it's the kind that is truly crystalline and clear. But it's not the impurities in meth that are the problem! It's the meth itself.
As been noted, there are people who do heroin for years, or even decades, and seem to muddle through. I've not heard of meth addicts who can claim the same.
Some feel that if heroin was legalized many if not most of the problems around it would be greatly diminished. The cost would go way down, so that would greatly reduce theft and prostitution committed by addicts. It would also chase organized crime out of the business.
And doses could be much more controlled and consistent. Heroin OD's are typically just cases of people getting stronger stuff than they were used to. Or people who kick, and then start again at the same level they used to be at. If it was legal a lot of that would go away.
