Heh, 'not hurting anyone else'.
Four words, such a quagmire. Let's get hypothetical and say that there is someone who takes such drugs regularly, and can complete, under the drugs, 80 tasks a minute. However, off the drugs, they can complete 60. There is another person who can complete 70 tasks a minute off the drugs, but for whatever reason, doesn't take the drugs. Allergic reaction, ethical beliefs, religious doctrine, whatever. Who do you hire? If you hire the first person, you have someone who is better, but only if they take a pill. If you they run out, stop taking them, can't pay for them, their efficiency goes down. On the other hand, if you hire the second person, your getting a less efficient employee. If that person doesn' have a physical reason why they can't take them, should they be forced to, just to compete? If they can't, does that make them a lower class citizen? And if some law forces you to hire a certain number of the those who can or don't, tis that fair for your customers? You are no longer able to provide the best product possible, because you have to hire a group who are actually inferior to another group you could potentially hire. Like I said, quagmire.

'Not hurting anyone else' is lie, everyone affects someone else. When you take seat at a diner, another person can't sit their anymore. If you buy a loaf of bread, that bread can no longer feed another person. The very air you breath is no longer thier for someone else to breath. And it spreads, rippling outward. Now, recreational drugs, I still have some qualms about, but I can at least concede that those are meant to be consumed in ones own home or in a controlled enviroment.
However, an enhancement drug is meant by its very nature to be used within a working enviroment. If a student takes a enhancement drug, does better because it enhanced his memory and recall, gets the scholarship, then another student, who studied just as hard, but didn't take the drug. Was the first student cheating, or was the second student just not using all the resources available?

I believe the question of enhancement drugs must be looked at very carefully, before we can come to a definitive answer. This dialog, this discourse, is part of that.
