What exactly are you basing the assumption on? I mean all drugs were legal up till about 70 years ago. This world you describe of everyone going drug crazy has never existed before so why should we assume it will happen now? I mean considering the fact that they were never made illegal for health reasons (it was actully based on money,politics and racism, like most things) This idea that humans, if given free access to something,will then just go and overuse it like crazy is completely baseless.
