There's also the reason that it's nobody's business if an adult drinks alcohol or smokes pot.

Well, with pot, there isn’t any clear/legal definition of what “under the influence” is.
Writing as someone who was injured twice (avoiding serious injury only by luck) by someone doing one-hitters all day in a factory years ago who wasn’t following procedures, I think that this is an issue.
Sure there is--when you are operating a multi-ton motor vehicle outside of your home, separated from other vehicles by mere feet, you have no business being under the influence of anything. Or when you are operating on a surgical patient, operating dangerous machinery, etc. I don't care if you want to kill your own brain cells and dope or drink yourself into oblivion--in your own house. But don't you dare bring that lack of perfect sharpness into the lane next to mine or into an operating room or a manufacturing facility.
