All the above are prescribable drugs in the B.N.F.
Amphetamine is used for ADHD but methylphenidate is preferred. Also, prescribed for narcolepsy, but again there are alternatives.
Barbiturates are rarely prescribed now, usually only if you have had your epilepsy controlled by a barbiturate for a significant period. Phenobarbital is still used as an anaesthetic. As a hypnotic it has all but been replaced, by safer alternatives.
Morphine Is prescribed quite commonly, Being the pain-killer by which all others are compared. Effective not only for cancer pain, but other extremely painful disorders. It is also very effective in controlling the pain of a heart attack, as well as improving cardiac function.
Heroin tends to be prescribed only in hospitals, in the treatment of palliative care. It is approx.50% stronger w/w than morphine, and dissolves moe readily, making injections less painful. It is not used in the U.S.A.(medically)

All can be prescribed by a doctor under the Controlled Substances Act
Amphetamines:
These are central nervous system stimulants, used for children with hyperactivity - but should be prescribed selectively as they can retard growth. Patients with narcolepsy can benefit from treatment with amphetamines.
Barbiturates
Generally only have a place in the treatment of severe intractable insomnia, and should be avoided in the elderly. Phenobarbitone and methylphenobarbitone are sometimes used in the treatment of epilepsy.
Morphine
A very valuable opioid analgesic given for severe pain, and is generally used in the treatment of severe pain in terminal care
Heroin
(Diamorphine Hydrochloride)
Used in the treatment of terminal care patients, another opioid analgesic

There are a few amphetamines and barbiturates that have medical benefits and that can be used under prescription, morophine is legal under prescription. Heroin is listed by the DEA as a substance that has no medical value it is not legal to use or possess heroin nor can a doctor prescribe it.

All would be legal to take when prescribed by a doctor except Heroin. As a former nurse, I never saw Heroin prescribed to anyone.

DRUGS are bad................end of story. (Only good when being used for medical purposes)
Why do you want to know which one would be legal?
A doubt a doctor will prescribe you any of those because I seriously doubt that you need any of the above.

They are all legal to be described by anyone, but a doctor would have to prescribe them.

She is in the best hands money could buy and getting the best treatment possible under the circumstances. I don't know Why they did not put a port in her for her chemotherapy though, it is baffling to me for somebody so frail to needlessly spend over two hours to find a vein to give her chemotherapy treatment. As far as your concoction goes, I have no faith in it. There are millions praying for Farrah's remission to happen, I truly hope she survives. It must be hell for Ryan to see her suffer so, I cared for my wife's battle through her cancer treatments and it was tough. You won't find too many people here willing to gamble their lives for your so called cure. That is just the way it is, to stay alive she has to go through what she must endure and she is doing it bravely. We all have our crosses to bear, this is a hard world.

All of them I think.
Amphetamine is given to ADHD sufferers.
Barbiturates are given to people with epileptic type disorders and for people who suffer anxiety and as an anaesthetic.
Morphine is a painkiller and I've had it.
Heroin is also known as diamorphine, another painkiller. Heroin can be prescribed to addicts.
