They're the same. Both create physical addictions, both induce violent withdraws. The only difference is, corporations make billions off one while people are jailed for selling the other.
*Did I mention both can kill you?

This video illustrates the problem we are facing with drugs in this Country. The recent crackdown on prescription pain pills causes a spike in Heroin use. Lax border security also contributes to the problem. Prescription drug deaths used to dwarf the number of deaths attributed to heroin, but that is expected to change with the pharmaceutical crackdown.
Prescription pain pills are just as addictive, if not more, as heroin. Pills are even more difficult to withdraw from. But heroin's consistency varies from dealer to dealer and the primary way it is introduced into the body is hazardous in many ways. Not to mention, the nature of the illegality of heroin makes the purchase process somewhat dangerous.
I think if we can answer the question: Which is better: Prescription Pain Pills or Heroin? we will have a better understanding of what to do in the future as it pertains to our Nation's laws and Drugs.
Personally, I don't know. Outlawing drugs hasn't worked. Everything has a "cause and effect." Cocaine became more expensive, in part, because of the "Drug War" and our efforts to contain it's use. So, Crack Cocaine was born. We crackdown on Marijuana and a synthetic (Spice) is developed. And on and on. It seems to me that people are going to get "high" no matter what. Anyone remember the stories of the rooskies getting hammered on Antifreeze?

I would go with Morphine, not heroin.
The difference being?
1) inexperienced users
2) higher number of users
But I think you're right about Pills being more dangerous.
I don't recall which one is automatic death or which one will put you into a coma.
but know many recovering , ex addicts ,,and both are bad ,,,
to put a degree & judge which is worse ,,,though one ...really !
When you try to withdraw from "scripts" and you don't know what is real and what isn't. Like, if you have a chronic pain issue and the pain starts coming back... It's hard to tell if it is real or imagined.
And since there is little information on withdrawing from pills because getting addicted to them is not supposed to happen, the person is unaware of how to taper and what to expect and how long to expect it.
I think there is a lot more information available now then when I had to deal with it though.
now I have cronic pain " there getting ready to implant a smoothwave neuro stimulator in my spine ..I have an inoperable syrinx with a "pencil lead size cancer tumor in side of that ..been taking oxycontin & ultram for 3 yrs ..then arthritis in my back / rt hip ..so I concur about the pills , they know it not a good think for this long on the oxy ..but what ya gonna do ?
I had a chance to try heroine in the early 80's while driving truck ..I declined ..and have meet many addicted to it since ..there recovering addicts ..
When some people (like me) take these things for years and years a point can be reached where the pain feels greater than it really is. I guess it's psychosomatic or tolerance. But, it took at least 6 months to withdraw (more like a year) from the crap I was on (benzos are the worst).
Sounds like you might be on those meds for life. I wish you the best. I was told the difference between Oxy and Morphine is Morphine is long term and more sedative.
