Who's "smart enough" to make decicions that affect us all? Well that's the main focus of political systems to find out the "smartest" decicions. In most western countries people have right to vote who gets more power to make these decicions. Like I said before, laws should reflect the opinion of majority in democracy, if not, then the system has some flaws. And opinions are influenced by morality, but morality affects also the stuff we do to others, not just what we do to ourselves.
About net effect of legalizing all drugs, no I can't predict that or about how much positive effects it would give, but I'm pretty sure that common opinion as well as scientific studies suggest that fully legalizing ALL drugs would increase problems.
