Why can’t they create a drug like cocaine or heroin that retains only the positive effects (euphoria, relaxation, etc.) without causing harm and danger to health?

What you are talking about is Soma, such as in the Brave New World novels/series. Would have a funny effect on society, thats for sure.
My understanding of heroin is that it literally creates the best feeling you’ll ever have. Considering how damaging excess food, tv, internet, sex, etc. can be for our dopamine system, I’d imagine even a “only good” heroin would still totally fuck up your ability to function. You’d only want to get high, everything else would be deprioritized.
