It's all political.  Everything you mentioned has an equivalent in
talk.politics.guns, so I'd say a group for discussing what you mention
would be talk.politics.drugs.
Of course, there will always be the anti-drug fanatics who will spread
heat instead of light and information, insist that you don't need these
freedoms, and insist that drugs cause violence.  But hey, you post your
articles and you take your chances.   If you want a pro-legalization group
to spread that sort of information, you should probably do it as a moderated
group. (soc.drugs might be acceptable in that case)
