If this isn't done, then it makes no sense to legalize any substance, simply because then no one would ever be made to be responsible for any crime they commit.

I don't see how the scenario you describe differs if drugs are legal or illegal. You don't address what the significance of legalization is to your categories.

Once again you have a logical fallacy that the crime is some sort of all-or-nothing event that is completely dependant upon whether drugs were involved or not. The extent of the drug involvement should be factored in the case just like any other factor.

For example: if the crime were an accident then the person might be ruled more negligent because they were impaired and should have known better. It could go the other way in a different case.
