I am perfectly fine with people putting whatever substances they want into their own bodies . . .
As long as their subsequent actions do not impose significant costs upon everyone else. Some of those people will continue to be productive citizens. Others will not. And that's fine too, as long as they don't expect everyone else to feed and care for them.
Now I could raise the issue of crime. Everyone else should not have to deal with crime caused by people trying to get their next fix. But that problem (mostly) goes away by not making the substances illegal in the first place. The crime problem only continues to exist if some people become unemployable but have to commit crime in order to get their next fix.
