re: "With legalized, cheap drugs, we'd have similar social problems, but the evil, powerful, drug kingdoms would lose their source of revenue."

Wrong. Before they lost the Opium Wars, China was the richest country in the world. Within a couple generations, it was a country that couldn't feed itself.

Anyway, why should people have easier access to mind altering drugs than antibiotics?

"People, since the beginning of time, NEEDED feel good drugs. They NEED them. They can't do without them. It is as essential to many people as air"

You have a weird outlook imo. People since the beginning of time have USED drugs, but they do no NEED them. Where do you get that bizarre outlook? Sounds like you need them.
