The current drug laws of the United States (and most developed nations) are entirely arbitrary and it would make sense to come up with a set of rules/guidelines that determine which drugs should be over the counter legal to everyone, drugs that should be age restricted, drugs which should require a prescription, drugs that should be illegal to sell but decriminalized to have in small ammounts, and completely illegal drugs.
At the same time, there needs to be an understanding in society that drugs with restrictions have serious risks associated with their use and we need to start eliminating lawsuits related to people knowingly taking pharmaceuticals that have well known side effects because they ended up encountering the side-effects that the drug had.
