The game rating system was adopted voluntarily by the video games industry as a proactive measure to avoid compulsory ratings and censorship from the government. It does what it was meant to do; government doesn't really reagulate the industry itself, although it does try to make sure that retailers follow the age guidelines set forth by the ratings, e.g. only allowing people 17+ to buy rated M games.

I see no problems with having drugs in games, as long as the games being produced are actually good. I hate seeing shock used as the main draw a game instead of gameplay or story.
