This doesn't fit the description of what I would consider a recreational user. You're talking about addicts of hard drugs, not occasional tokers.

Of course alcohol, cigarettes, junk food and lack of exercise also do this. Is that reason for a "war" on them?

Spread of AIDS and other diseases, discarded syringes, overburdening social services, especially medical. Given the tiny number of IV drug users, this doesn't strike me as a very large cost.
