Other than pricing issues, is there any other basis for differentiation regarding social stigma?

If heroin was the same price as pot, heroin junkies would just have a bit more heroin before they ran out
Heroin is physically addicting, pot is not on the same level of heroin at all. It may be mentally addicting / habit forming... we're talking irritability vs physical pain when you don't have a drug.
Look at it like this... if your body is telling you it is starving and you are in extreme pain, you will steal bread to eat.
