Emphatically no. The very idea that guns AND drugs have become primarily issues of public health is awesomely subversive. It serves only those who wish to erode the impediments to centralization.

While it's a Nice Idea to see the safety of the process as institutional, and it may very well even be so, I would be very leery of anyone, in power or not, who makes the decision for me that I cannot use whatever force necessary to protect my home from, say, armed robbers or ronin SWAT teams.
