"because others have a predilection for legislating morality and controlling others' bodies."
Are you sure people who want to keep heroin, meth and coke illegal are doing it because they want to legislate morality and control others bodies?
Or is it because they don't want to have to deal with the negative effects that these drugs have on their community.
Criminalizing them hasn't been the solution, but decriminalizing them will not make things that much better either...

From my perspective, most of the bad effects of those drugs occur due to their illegality. Meth, heroin, cocaine, etc. is pretty fucking dirt cheap to produce. The impurities and high costs and unknown doses and burdens to the carceral system are what impose the bulk of the costs to society.
