It's true that heroin cannot be obtained legally. However, there are many, many cases of people turning to heroin after becoming hooked on legal opioids and having their supply cut off (such as doctors refusing to continue the prescription).

In fact, the recent uptick in heroin usage is closely correlated with tighter restrictions on painkillers. We're finding that people who were using pills and can no longer get them are turning to heroin.

There's no way to know if this was the case with Hoffman. Given what I know, it seems he would have first tried in in the '80s, and the landscape was a bit different then. However, it is important to note that a heroin habit is not always 100% avoidable in the way that you claim. It can, in fact, start with a legitimate prescription for a legitimate drug.
