Answer by Mathieu
Firstly are you talking about legal for medical use (like morphine or amphetamine) or legal for recreational use (like alcohol)?
In general you would have to determine what risks a drug has (physical harm, abuse potential, harm to community and individual) and benefits the drug has (medical use).
GHB is already a prescription drug called Xyrem (sodium oxybate). It uses the name sodium oxybate to avoid the stigma of GHB. And I certainly support the legality of Xyrem when treating narcolepsy especially with cataplexy. I would not want this to be available for recreational use largely due to the fact that mixing it with alcohol or prescription benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Ativan) or barbiturates (Seconal, Butisol, Phenobarbital) is very likely to result in death without immediate medical assistance. Almost all, if not all, GHB deaths have been from respiratory depression associated with alcohol and other drugs. In terms of abuse, physical harm, and harm to society it is fairly safe (more so than alcohol or smoking).

Now one nees to bear in mind when using these medications like dilaudid these drugs all addicting.
Palladone could be found in the U. S. for a short time in the extended release form that is until it was voluntarily removed due to many reports of patient overdose.
Dilaudid is being prescribed in great numbers these days for the treatment of moderate to very severe pain. It is said that many countries other than the U. S. like to use this drug for chronic pain. I know for a fact that it is used to treat cancer patients due to its pain relieving qualities.
Treating Pain With the Methadone Drug
Methadone is known as a highly effective and powerful drug. It is a narcotic that belongs to the same family of opioids like heroin. Methadone is a long acting medication for pain relief. It is an effective opiod analgesic for severe pain. Because of its low cost and apparent efficacy in complex pain syndromes, it is increasingly being used as a first-line opioid. It is such a good pain medication for chronic pain sufferers and for helping narcotic dependents get through life without having to spend their existance trying to keep a steady supply of heroin around or nearby, just to physically get through a day.
