By your gun analogy, one could get a prescribed LSD dose every few weeks after passing a few tests and signing some agreements. This is not the current situation.

People in favor of universal drug legalization are all for drug control in the same sense as gun control, plus higher taxes for narcotics. But control is different from prohibition.

So, yes, drugs should have safety rails provided by the government. It's one of many public services governments should provide. But right now, that "safety rail" is an electric fence with thousands of security guards watching it.
