Although I suppose legalizing is the first step along that road - that will make it guaranteed to be immensely profitable to be the first company to come up with such a drug.

I think that's nearly impossible my friend. Part of any addiction is mental as much as it is physical.
If you give someone a drug that gives them an incredible high, the brain is just going to ask for more, and its going to ask for it in a hard way.
Even if its just a mental need or a I think its ID need, the ID is incredibly powerful.
I read a book where the ID is even more powerful then the primitive part of your brain that regulates your instinct. The ID can even allow you to overcome your survival requirements.
