Why the hell not? Heroin from Bayer would not have the quality control issues Heroin typically has.

It only becomes problematic when you consider that the user is getting themselves into a situation that they do not fully understand and potentially cannot easily back themselves out of.

With drugs that have a high potential to cause harm, we typically force the consumer to consult a professional before allowing them to proceed. Tech is still in the era of patent medicines.

I specifically used the example of Heroin as Bayer marketed it as a non-addictive alternative to morphine, proclaiming it safe.
