"I was thinking that the harder drugs should be handled more like prescription medicines."

So a heroin user or a cocaine user or a methamphetamine user would get a prescription from a doctor?

I see all kinds of problems with that, especially legal liability, physician ethics, and patient privacy. I don't want the government to know I do heroin.

"I see all kinds of problems with that, especially legal liability, physician ethics, and patient privacy. I don't want the government to know I do heroin."

Not a great deal of difference between Heroin and Morphine, which is widely prescribed by physicians for chronic severe pain.
