But you know, pots somehow cool. It only alters your mind. I know a guy who I once went to school with who was smoking pot and ran over somebody. But that's not that big of a deal, I guess 
.
Let's ban alcohol then.
Including smothering libertarians with pillows?
Oh how terrible; we must stem this crisis in decency. Hard drugs are criminalised for a reason: they're a blight on those that come into contact with him, and their families. I realise, you Randroid social Darwinians couldn't care less about them - as long as it doesn't affect your liberty, but thankfully you're in a very small minority of unfeeling sociopaths.
Now now, "Randroid social Darwinians"? No need to be a Snowstalker on this.
The criminalisation of hard drugs still allows all the social problems that legalisation could potentially lead to (probably more so, actually) while also adding in a level of violent crime for a whole extra level of fun social carnage. The "unfeeling sociopath" position is to continue making these substances illegal and thus encouraging and sustaining the organised crime that goes hand in hand with the provision thereof.
As regards the "blight" I should note that it is of course also entirely possible to be a fully functioning drug addict and member of society in many cases - I might except something like meth, but there's a lot more heroin addicts than you realise because not all of them are tracksuit-wearing degenerates like people tend to be believe.
