Let people use it.
Heroin legalized would be incredibly cheap...

I fail to see how legalizing heroin would somehow result in fewer people being addicted to it. There is literally nothing you can tell or show me that would overcome my common sense laughing at how ridiculous it is to assume that making something legal and cheap would NOT result in its use becoming more widespread, no matter WHAT it is.
"The costs aren't exactly dissuading anyone from doing it?" You're nuts. Maybe people who are already addicted are willing to do whatever it takes to get their hands on it, but people who AREN'T addicted are way less likely to try something new if it's outrageously expensive. Come on, man! Seriously, don't argue with common sense!
We are getting so far off-topic here. GUN CONTROL. GET ON THAT.

Fewer people wouldn't be doing it. However fewer people would be made destitute about it.
The problem with "common sense" is that common sense isn't statistically tested and often flies in the face of reality and research.
Gun Control... is exactly the same thing. Statisics generally show that in the US, removal of gun control, even by outside forces, tends to lead to a decrease in crimes and crimes comitted involving guns.
I'm not sure how you really have a topic after doing the research... outside calls for "common sense".
If you read statistical studies, or books on research you'll find that "common sense" is wrong way more often then you would think, and this is generally one of the biggest issues in the way of policy improvement.

Why is crime so high in america's cities then? if gun control don't exist?

War on Drugs is the reason for around half the crime.
The War on Drugs, btw, is just further evidence that the Government cannot ban anything, they can only make the situation worse.
