I'm surprised not to see a single mention of coffee. I've used it as a drug plenty of times (not drinking it because I want to, but because I need the caffeine boost to meet expectations), and so has pretty much everyone I know. Does the discussion change because something only comes in pill form or is synthetic?

Assuming a safe drug, the next country to embrace the drug will immediately be at an advantage, and then other countries will have to amend their laws just to keep up economically. It's the same situation as genetic modifications. Right now called "designer babies," but the first country to embrace it will cause that negative connotation to fall to pragmatism as everyone will have to do it just so their kids can keep up. It's the inevitable march towards the future, regardless of how it's viewed.
