I agree. Though how much is too much remains to be seen. The pendulum will swing too far one day. The more progress we make, the sooner it's too much to take.

In future generations we'll have the War on Drugs to look back on, so we won't make the same mistakes, but drug use will become too much at some point, and we'll look for other ways to curtail it.

Well the pendulum has been so far on the other side for so long that I personally don’t mind and am looking forward to the day we have this entirely hypothetical problem because it will mean that the opposite, darker era is over.
