If alcohol and cigarettes had been invented today, they would most certainly not be legal.
Cars probably also wouldn't be legal.

Not arguing pro war on drugs here, but there's more to mdma:
> Results show that oxytocin creates intergroup bias because oxytocin motivates in-group favoritism and, to a lesser extent, out-group derogation.

I hope one day those who push war on drugs are recognised for the damage they have caused and all the deception that is going on will be exposed and heads will roll.
Did any heads roll when The Prohibition was finally considered a failure?

I’d say it should be up choice. If you want to take substance x over alcohol, take it.
Controlling and encouraging safe usage is the way to go. People that want to take drugs will find and take them anyway.
