Society deems alcohol acceptable partially because it’s fine in moderation, and has been a component of human society for thousands of years.

There really isn’t any safe amount of heroin, and there’s no social or health benefit to doing it. Morphine (from which heroin is derived) is only useful as a painkiller under medical supervision.
