Well, you know what they say. Never get between a libertarian and his hookers and blow. Do you know how to create a libertarian? Just take a conservative and remove all common sense. Libertarianism is a theoretical construct that is only viable in a perfect world with perfect people. When you use and abuse drugs that cause traffic and workplace accidents that injure and kill people then it is absolutely the government’s business. When you fry your brains with dope and the taxpayers have to pay for your medical bills then you harm all of us.

I reall y don’t care what people do...as long as I don’t have to foot their medical care,disability, unemployment or any of the costs. So far as I’m concerned, if you want to off yourself, go ahead. I don’t want to clean up after you. Unfortunately, that’s not how it usually plays out.

Not that it matters to you, but libertarians don't want that.

How many examples of making something contraband do you require to understand that prohibition never works?

Alcohol prohibition failed. Gun control is a failure. Putting pseudo ephedrine behind counters hasn't slowed meth trafficking one iota.

I don't smoke marijuana, but I am tired of the taxpayers' funds being wasted on JBTs to fight it, especially as that fight is ineffectual by any metric.

Well that's part of the problem. Once you accept the premise that we have to pay for their health care, then you can legislate control of about just any human behavior.
