For something called The CAUSAL Fallacy, you sure play fast and loose with stats. You admit that the stats are weak, and that people deserve to be left alone if not harming others (a libertarian ember still glowing?) but then you propose that we empower the state to mitigate risks that are very poorly characterized. Except for prohibition, which has well characterized negative effects on many things beyond prison (holding a job, joining the military, etc) but not on decreasing use.
What is currently happening in most of the world is exactly what should happen. Let states and countries experiment, to reduce the scale of damage done by mistakes on both ends of the prohibition/legalization spectrum. Watch carefully with true curiosity, pretend that you are not smarter than everyone else, and see what happens. Be slow to accept the "evidence" offered by those with a strong POV. Most of it can't be reproduced. And always fight that internal urge to tell other people what to do with their lives.
