If we do legalize it, yes, tax the hell out of it.
The costs of production are fairly low, and the prices many people are accustomed to paying are fairly high. Keep the prices the same, and tax a large amount of that price.
Therefore drugs would help to pay for any harm they may cause to society. (Or decrease the deficit which wouldn't be too bad)

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
