"Who believes that?" No one believes it. Heroin didn't exist in Shakespeare's time. It was only first developed in the late 1800's.

It would have to be smoking opium, because heroin was not invented yet. Heroin was invented, believe it or not, to cure people of morphine addiction, another opium derivative.
The simplest explanation is that Hamlet was both crazy, as the murder of a beloved father by your uncle who was now in power would do, and crafty, as he managed to survive in that toxic enviorn, and later prevail.
More interesting than a dope dream, to me, but I'm clean and sober, so what do I know?!

Your theory is not as far fetched as it might sound.
There is no question that Hamlet has often been analyzed as an intriguing illustration of doubt and the madness that uncertainty of the world around us can create.
Hamlet is indeed maddened by his vision of his father's ghost.
However, this does not explain the guilty reaction of his uncle, the new king, and his attempt to poison Hamlet.
