Because some drugs like meth and crack and even bath salts have a very addictive property that affect the part of the brain severely that affect their neurology that causes the user's brain to lose control over their reasoning. Those drugs don't simply make you mellow and want to eat food. Those addictions can lead people to become violent.
Now alcohol does the same, but unless you can create a clinic like location, that control's the user's intake, these users are not doctors, nor are the sellers, and on the street, just like prostitution, those unregulated conditions are dangerous.
So if you can come up with ideas of how to regulate to make both the sale legal and a safe environment for the user it is simply not enough to make it legal. Regulations have to go along with the legalization, just like pot. Just like alcohol. Legalization with "no rules" is simply anarchy.
Just like surgery, and eating at a food joint, you don't simply make it legal and trust society never to fuck up. This is the problem with GOP/Libertarian logic.
And just like guns and religion. FINE don't just fucking offer me up a platitude, give me the details of your evidence and the details of HOW you would make this work. "Just do it" is a fucking platitude.
So you agree with the war on drugs. It has been very effective at keeping people off the hard stuff.
