>They are well aware of the effects and risks.

First, many are not aware.

Second, there are other parties who are hurt directly or indirectly by the drug use (granted, this only applies to some drugs).

Third, there are victims in getting the drugs to the person (once again, not in all cases, but with the black market, you can't be sure which case you fall under).

Finally, much like with alcohol, just because I do not consider it victimless does not mean I am against it being legalized. In fact I think that legalization would greatly reduce the number of victims.
