How about just following the Tenth Amendment and let each state decide those issues. Too simple and straightforward?

No it’s not too simple and sraightforward to let states decide issues such as marijuana legalization.

I was trying to address it from the standpoint that these drugs are dangerous if used recklessly, and that there are reasons why we made certain drugs illegal in the first place.

If we want to be strictly libertarian, then every state should make everything legal if their citizens decide to do so. If there’s no other considerations, then that’s what should be done.

I’m clearly a minority here, but, just saying, drug addiction/drug abuse cost our society dearly, and there are other considerations besides the 10th amendment and libertarian ideology.
