Show me the successful societies that tolerate legal and widespread recreational drug use.

Well, since heroin & other opiates weren't 'illegal' until 1920, and marijuana wasn't 'illegal' until 1937, I'd have to say-

WE were!

Two notes: Heroin was only made a controlled substance in England because Physicians were upset that Chemists (Pharmacists) were making all the money...so it was controled and they got their cut.

In one of our studies we found that babies of mothers using cocaine (you can't tell the difference in form when its in the body)were less likely to have problems than mothers of smokers.
