Not really. Heroin and cocaine are not traditional social drugs (like alcohol) but were created by chemists in the 19th century. Crack and meth were created by hoods about 20 years ago. There's a big difference between a person who has a glass of wine and a person who has a hit of crack or a tab of meth.
Opium and coca leaves have been around for a long time---as has marijuana. Do you favor legalizing them?

Yes---the latter have been encouraged by the War On Some Drugs to make their drug a centerpiece rather than a sidelight of their activities, and to concentrate their drug for easier portability.
