Drinking is a fundamental part of western culture, its been around for as long as theres been civilisation, it's as much a part of us as wearing trousers and skirts (for the scots).
The 'Drugs are bad, mmkay?' view that the governments have taken out is what has caused most issues. Granted, there are a huge amount of stuff that shouldn't be let out into society (ecstacy, coke, heroin, crack e.t.c). If we did legalise during our generation, our grandchildren would probably have no issues whatsoever with drugs, because thats what they've grown up knowing.

If alcohol was discovered today, it would be highly illegial.

As with everything, education and moderation is the key, 'drugs' is such a huge catagory that its impossible to make a defining decision with regards to the original post.

A quick note, one can get stoned without smoking.
