Oh, I don't know- perhaps because Babak asked a question and this information would be pretty darn useful in providing more useful help?

"Do what feels good, baby!" I've no problem with drugs, but as someone who has seen some negative consequences from regular, long-term opiate use I can safely say that there are risks. And no, I'm not talking about the after-school special or NA sobstory variety. More like what I saw from safe, responsible opiate use, with accurate dosing, etc. It's like any drug- there are side effects.
The fact that it's an illicit street drug that is often shot, cut with various rubbish, and because you usually don't know quite what you're getting presents a whole new stable of problems that have nothing to do with heroin as a drug.
Sorry, but if someone asked a question about the long term sustainability of treatment using any random legal pharmaceutical you'd get a lot of similar replies- it's good for this, but these are the consequences. Isn't that the point of this board?
