You want a lawless society where people can get on dope and be a burden on the rest of society, then. That’s why I call what you want utopian libertarianism.

Wrong as usual - I fully support all laws against violations of individual rights ... but current drug laws don't qualify.

where people can get on dope and be a burden on the rest of society,

Some, but far from all, users of alcohol and other drugs become burdens on society - and even they are burdens only because society has through its elected representatives chosen to create programs through which this burdening takes place. The conservative position is to end such rights-violating welfare/redistributive programs, not to use them as an excuse for still more rights-violating policies like drug criminalization.
