The obvious solution is to not make drugs worth fighting over by legalising them.

You do realize that some of the drugs people have been killed over are prescription drugs, right?  Legalizing drugs isn't going to stop people from dying over them, especially when they need their fix and don't have the money to purchase or acquire them legally i.e. a doctor's prescription.

The solution then would just be to de-regulate the distribution of all drugs, but big pharma would *hate* it.

Actually something i could get behind, namely that you can't patent a distinct chemical compound.

Clinical trials need to stay in some form. If the US had public healthcare it would be cost effective to entirely self-fund trials. Perhaps in conjunction with some EU systems.

Well, not to get rid of the FDA or its strict requirements, but to eliminate the entire "perscription" system and make everything over-the-counter
