To just do anything you want is called True Anarchy, not True Liberty!To do anything you want so long as it violates nobody's rights---THAT is True Liberty. To restrict liberty for any reason other than defense of individual rights is True Statism.

When you self medicate, you are violating the rights of other citizens with risky behavior that affects them, higher insurance premiums, much more hospitalization and also violent crime. Employers become at greater risk for being sued due to illegally drugged employees. Families get torn apart with addiction.
So "ANYTHING" isn't allowed.
"Anything" can easily equal "Anarchy".
