drug laws are going to be drastically different 50 years from now. EITHER people at power are going to be sensible (LOL yeah right) and make the beneficial ones less illegal OR everything will be illegal and testing positive for anything will get you the death penalty or sent to a torture camp.

We might see alcohol banned again, this time with the might of enshitification and modern technology to back it up. It's going to be a lot more ruthless and cutthroat next time around. Boy oh boy I can't wait for the absolute chaos that will unfold when companies start firing people left and right for testing positive for alcohol metabolites after they spend zillions of dollars figuring out how to make unbeatable alcohol drug tests with stupidly long detection windows instead of actually using the technology of modern medicine to do anything useful like cure cancer or help people.
