Because they aren't endangering only themselves. They frequently lose touch of reality, and do things that they wouldn't, were they sober (granted, alcohol tends to have worse effects, mainly with traffic accidents, but still). A zombie outbreak wouldn't hurt only the zombies, don't you think so? Recreational uses of (possibly) medical drugs also tends to make the legitimate uses harder or impossible. Some countries ban clinical uses of some drugs because they fear abuse. See MDMA, cannabis and possibly cocaine. Besides, chances are you're somehow financing the organized crime unless you grew them yourself, since most drugs come from or through them (believe me, I live in south america, I'd know how to these things go from colombia to europe/USA/middle east/japan/whatever). Oh, but I do think that it's nonsensical to legalize alcohol, tobacco and caffeine while banning much lighter drugs such as cannabis, acid, shrooms or ecstasy.

A word of advice. I live (...somewhat) near the Brazilian Amazon, and we tend to mock "mystics" that come here seeking these, let's call them "natural drugs", mainly because the indigenous people can barely speak Portuguese/Spanish, let alone English/French, and that some foreigners end up buying coffee/beer/etc, thinking it was ayahuasca. You're better off using a trustworthy local as a proxy.
