To a certain extent, but it does tend to hurt society to a certain extent when someone becomes addicted. Drugs like crack cocaine or methamphetamine are highly addictive, and there's not really any such thing as an occasional user. It's also highly unlikely that a crack or meth user is going to remain gainfully employed for long, so they either have to resort to public assistance or crime. This is why I generally don't have a problem with marijuana, because it is not addictive like the harder drugs are. You never hear of anyone going to rehab for a marijuana addiction. It's apparently able to enjoy it recreationally without having it interfere with your life.
The other problem I have with hard drugs like methamphetamine is that the production of meth results for 9 lbs. of toxic waste for every 1 lb. of drug manufactured. All this toxic waste will have to be dealt with, though it could be argued that drug companies being regulated with what they do with their waste is better than a couple of rednecks brewing it up in their trailer park and then throwing the toxic waste outside on the ground or pouring it down the sink.
