In the UK, being treated for an overdose is an expense of the tax payer. Obviously people still overdose, and that expense already exists. But the legality of dangerous substances is to minimize the harm, and therefore the cost associated with that harm.
A free-for-all approach would either have to accept a greater expense (not just economically) or introduce other measures to minimize the harm.
