Given that the last time the U.S. banned alcohol it was a total disaster causing thousands of deaths, and we now live in a time where public sentiment towards many currently illegal drugs becoming legal is positive. I don't expect prohibition to come back any time soon.

Criminalising morality does tend to fare poorly. Setting responsibility at appropriate levels or behaviours (say, contributory negligence liability for drugs- or alcohol-based deaths or injury to the industry rather than individual users) might have merits.
Effective determination and points of control can be thorny.
