I smoke, since I was young, it was silly, but I'd seen others do it and was offered cigarettes from a buddy and got hooked.
Thinking about it, the only reason I would never try heroin now, is I've seen what it can do to people, from movies mostly (ironically ones that are not suitable for children to watch).
If heroin was legal, I think kids who have no idea what the hell they're getting into would be the ones to be affected.
So you're right, most adults wouldn't take up heroin if it suddenly became legal - but I bet a lot of kids would.

Are you seen you have seen that? From what I read, part of the reason heroin addicts look the way they do is that they do not buy enough food because they use all their money on heroin; they use all their money on heroin because it is so expensive, and it is so expensive because it is illegal.
Another reason is loss of appetite due to heroin addiction, but that certainly is not the only reason, and looking at programs where the government provides heroin to selected addicts, it does not appear to be the most important one.
