a right to order other people around

Nope it is the right of association. We form communities, and we as the individuals of those communities have the right to determine the type of community we live in, i.e. the standards of which it lives by. You guys like to call them gated communities, however the founders already created the idea with independent states. To take away the people of the state's ability to set their own standards within the bounds of the constitution is wrong.

Is anyone proposing to make people associate with drug users?

The only way such restrictions don't violate property and other rights is through the consent of everyone involved. You could get that in a local community, but not in a whole state. The fact that something isn't prohibited by the Constitution doesn't make it a good idea.
