To the “victimless crime” comment; is it really? What about children who have addicts for parents, or people injured by someone DWI, etc?

That's a hell of a strawman, nobody is arguing DWI should be allowed in any capacity. And to think of the children is $LOCAL_VARIANT_OF_CPS's literal job description.
okay, but what about the drug users who don't have dependents? what about the people who drink, but never drive while intoxicated? who is the victim in these cases?

Whataboutism? DWI is a different crime. There are lots of potential side effects, but those aren't inherent in the drug consumption.
