But the mentats are also on drugs, aren't they?

Not necessarily, being a mentat doesn't require the use of spice. Many use it because it enhances their thought process

Your right about them not necessarily relying on the spice melange, but they do rely on the juice of the sapho root to accelerate their thoughts and increase their processing speed. So yeah, they're still on drugs :)
