Legalize 'em all. It's unpopular, but it's the only solution that doesn't lead to ever-increasing authoritarianism. Drugs don't destroy lives, addiction does. Prohibition drives addicts underground. This makes the problem harder to solve, not easier. The legal status of tobacco and alcohol are proof-positive that biology isn't the metric that's used. It's politics and big business, pure and simple.
