Hmm...

The biggest change would be respect. Tolerance isn't enough, everyone would respect other people's views, religions or whatever. That would solve most, if not all, of the world's human crises.

Drugs, on the other hand, I would have a hard line on drugs. Everything except caffeine (and, reluctantly, alcohol). I mean seriously, while those who willingly vandalise their brains have given up the right to have them, these people do need to be looked after for their own good. And seriously, what a mark on someone's personality, that to enjoy themselves they must addle their minds so. In such an amazing and interesting world we have actually invented boredom, thus proving we can do the impossible. And because of it, we need drugs! Well, I'm sorry, but in my world the respect for each other also extends to ourselves, and the universe around us.

Perhaps then we can appreciate what we have and maybe not do all in our power to desecrate it. If everyone took five minutes out of each day to do something they wouldn't normally do, for the environment or for other people, well, that's six and a half billion times five minutes... 61,834 years worth of environmental and humanitarian aid everyday. Of course, it may not work out quite like that, since there's only so much you can do in five minutes, but the concept is there to be refined.

And that is just the beginning...
