While I understand the dangers of drugs, and I do not do drugs, I see no reason why others should be kept from doing what they want with their bodies. What people do in their homes and to themselves is none of our business. We don't have to like it, and we don't have to do it ourselves. We should just let it be and live OUR lives the way we want it, instead of deciding on how someone else should be living theirs. What if vegetarians were the majority and decided that eating animal meat should be illegal and they pass a law against eating meat?

This is not a good example. You should have thought it out more carefully.
Anti-drug laws exist because of the general idea that drugs injure the common good (simply put). This is due to their ability to addict, harm, and kill people who would otherwise be of contribution to society at large.
Eating meat is not injurious to the common good.
