Sorry the woman passed. How could this have been different if heroin and other drugs were legal? They would have been useing a drug of known concentration and purity greatly reducing the risk of OD. If they were required to obtain a license to use, a prerequisite class covering OD and narcon would have prepared them to deal with the OD. By removing the black market the violence will also be removed, so there likely would have been no gun. Taxes on the drugs could fund execelent treatment to those who want or are in need.
