I actually agree with you. I believe all drugs, including the illegal ones, should be made accessible if I want them. Now, having said that, everyone else has great arguments, and these things can not go unregulated. I'll want officially sanctioned reviews, warnings, I want labels to be truthful, I want legitimate access to accurate and quality information, I need more then known side effects, I need propbability of each one, I need to know the amount and quality of the studies that have shown efficacy and effect, etc.
I think cigarettes is actually a pretty good example of regulation that's not restrictive. I don't want to deregulate to enable business to sell more crap for higher prices with disinformation and attractive pitches. I want deregulation so that I am free to use any drug I would decide to use for myself. Granted, I would need to be guaranteed access to the correct information. Even today, there's not enough regulation around package labels. A lot of products don't mention important facts about them, or are allowed to lie on certain facts.
