Fear and Confusion
It is largely the international drug control system, in trying to stop the misuse of drugs like heroin, which is preventing access to medicines like morphine, for the treatment of pain.  There should be no reason why it is not possible to reduce the harm created by the misuse of drugs like heroin, while at the same time ensuring that drugs like morphine are readily available for the treatment of pain.
