Actually, drug policy is a great thing with which to squick overly-doctrinaire libertarians ;-) -- I honestly do agree with them that drugs should not be illegal. But then I look them straight in the eye and say that legal drugs would make *such* a great source of tax revenue... I too think that the “war on drugs” is misguided.

It pains me to no end to see them have to grow up under the same prohibitionist policies that I did in the 1970s. The war on drugs has not reduced drug abuse/addiction, but it has enabled the expansion of the criminal enterprises that profit from the underground drug trade. Legal doesn't mean socially acceptable as there are many examples of socially unacceptable conventions, behaviors, and habits that are perfectly legal as long as the rights of others are not violated, such as; cigarette smoking, overeating, pornography, promiscuity, abortion, and "White Power" demonstrations.
