Freely available heroin is not a good thing. Drug addiction would get significantly worse.

same thing was argued about cannabis and there was no explosion of addiction predicted by the puritanist false Cassandras.

That's because Cannabis is not a substance with a strong chemical addiction. There has been a significant increase in cannabis usage. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/ss/ss6511a1.htm

Strictly, Cannabis isn't really any worse than alcohol.

Heroin is far worse. Drugs are addictive, and when available legally it will encourage more people to try them.
