ELI5 Why someone would want ALL drugs to be legalized

I am pro-legalization for marijuana and other "soft" drugs, but why would legalizing drugs like meth be a good idea?

By some measures, outlawing of popular recreational drugs results in considerably more societal ills than if we just regulated and taxed them. Because drugs are illegal, they are used to fund organized crime all over the world; they force partakers to get involved with shady people; they are not sufficiently researched for their effects on human health; they are not regulated, so people end up buying and injecting all kinds of horrendously danger chemicals; they continue to fuel the very expensive and very ineffective "war on drugs", which results in prisons full of people who've committed non-violent, victim-less crimes.
