If we have been wrong about prohibition of marihuana for so long, then it seems reasonable to ask "are we not wrong about all drug prohibition"?
Like honestly, who really cares if people make a personal decision to take cocaine or ecstasy or whatever? It's not something I'd do, and doesn't seem good for your health, but apart from that, it's not harming anyone other than the consumer. And if all drugs are freely available and manufactured professionally then they would be much safer and more predicatable and far less likely for people to overdose due to variances in strength of street drugs.
Cheap, clean freely available drugs mean that addicts don't have to dedicate their lives to their habits and thus are more likely to hold together ordinary family life and jobs.
