If there had never been Drug Prohibition

Anyone think Society would be much different if we had never had drug prohibition?
I mean, it probably wouldn't be dramatically different but i feel like society would be a lot more open without the laws placed down by US Government.

Of course it would be different. 
And, of course, fewer laws generally equals more freedom.
If that's it then we can lock the thread now.

There wouldn't be a glamorized drug use like there is today... in fact i think people would be MUCH less pressured to use because they would see it's dangers void of any social stigma.

Hah, I really don't have time to read all the threads about me that are posted daily! But it does annoy me that the admins and mods don't care that everyone openly flames and trolls me.

I personally think it wouldn't be much different. Heroin, when it was legal, was used as a "cure-all" medicine for flus and colds.
Now, how many people are addicted to prescription drugs today, which are legal for them to take? Tens of millions.
Similar to what would happen if drugs were still legal. People would take them for certain reasons to treat themselves, and if they got addicted to it, then whatever, it's the same thing as the Pharma industry.
People can become dependent on nasal spray nowadays...and that's perfectly legal.

All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." --Max Planck
