Well, it WOULD get rid of a lot of organized crime....... :-)
Aside from the practical benefits, I'm philosophically opposed to a government telling individuals what they can and cannot do with and to their own bodies. I also don't think the government should pay one cent of our tax money for medical care for people who destroy their own bodies either. Legalize drugs, legalize suicide, legalize riding motorcycles with no helmets and riding in cars with no seat belts, (except for children) and then if people do any of those things, get hurt, and can't pay for their own medical care, let 'em die.
Ooh, that's harsh! But I like it.
In other words, raise the bar on "personal responsibility" and stop passing laws to protect us from ourselves!
I never did approve of the seatbelt law even tho' I do wear mine. It's a real violation of personal rights IMHO!
O.K. I'll go alone with this as long as there is also another provision. The user will pay all cost of any damage done while they were under the influence of these drugs.

Personal responsibility would include that...... ;-)
Auto insurers might have to incorporate drug testing. <lol> -- Om.

These last three posts are all highly consonant with a libertarian philosophy. I like 'em all.
Tough spirited liberty is "harsh," but preferable to creeping, tender-hearted tyranny.

I am a libertarian. I don't smoke pot and I do wear my seat belt, because I'm not an idiot. But I support others' rights to be idiots.
