Dose and scale of usage are kind of important factors here...
If people are chewing coca leaves is that really very different from caffeine? No, probably not. So then...what if they are doing very small amounts of cocaine or amphetamines? Is that very different from caffeine?
I'm guessing most of the problem with drugs actually comes very simply from the abuse of drugs.

Excluding outright poisons (which none of the narcotics are), everything is ok in moderation. Trouble is, many things are too enticing to keep using moderately.
