I 'think' it was at one time because Jeri Taylor helped create these characters and some fans hold onto that. I don't personally.
I read Mosaic because of the belief that it was somehow canon, but even in the show they changed Janeway's history.
For example, I seem to remember Janeway's previous ship the USS Al-Batani had a different name in the books.
So the story goes when Jeri Taylor was in charge of the show she considered both this and her previous Janeway-centred novel Mosaic canon. But that ended once she left the show, and indeed episodes from that point have contradicted both novels.
Well, that's just sloppy. IIRC, Al-Batani was named in Caretaker, so if the books used a different name, that's their mistake.
That's exactly what I thought when I read it.
Just checked the transcript for Caretaker. Al-Batani was definitely named in the episode, in Janeway's first line in the episode at that. And given Caretaker was co-written by Jeri Taylor, that is a sloppy mistake for her to make in her own novel.
It has been ages since I read the book and I don't plan to re-read it as it wasn't amazing.
I envision Earth life in the later 23rd century to be quite liberal and relaxed about how people seek enjoyment and pleasure, like something out of Logan's Run (minus the obligatory early death, of course).
No doubt, there would be all kinds of recreational psychoactive substances that have been developed and refined to a high degree to have little to no negative side effects, and not be addictive either.
