Unlike Scientology®, heroin actually fulfills the purposes it was designed for (except for being 'less' addicting than morphine).
It is socially unpopular because of it's 'side effects.'
Scientology is *only* effective in its 'side effects.'
The only 'effect' of Scientology training (in some relatively low percentage of test subjects) is to implant the conviction that Scientology Training is 'valuable' for objectively unquantifiable reasons.
It would be as if one introduced an addicting drug that caused nausea, hair-loss, liver damage, financial ruin, paranoid schizophrenic reactions, social ostracism of the self-inflicted kind and BO, but *also* convinced the patient that the drug was 'good for me', as well as a desire to extend its benefits to an unwary populace.
The only thing Scientology is good for is more Scientology.
Period.
