But how would they punish it if it becomes legal to gather in your front yard and inject methamphetamine?

The same way we already punish people who gather in places they’re not supposed to be in and drink. Legalizing a drug doesn’t mean legalizing all activities relating to it.

How do we punish public drunkenness when alcohol is legal?

We don’t punish people who sit in their house or their yard and get drunk. I’m not talking about public drunkenness I’m talking about meth dens and how they lead to a serious rise in crime in the surrounding neighborhood.
