Also, if someone laces a product they sell with poison, some other harmful substance, or sells horse tranquilizers instead of heroin, they should be held criminally liable. The consensual transaction by itself or using the substance you wanted to buy isn't a crime however.

Criminally liable by the government for breaking those regulations?
No, not the government. Ugh. Please look up the concept of common law courts. Not from breaking regulations either but from HARMING someone or their property. Those are things that should be crimes. Vices are not crimes.
"common law" refers to British common law, a set of basic civil laws. Who builds the courthouses? who pays for the heat? who selects judges? who determines what is legal and what is not?
The government via taxation. That is one of their most basic and essential tasks. Without the government you don't have a third party to settle disputes in a civil manner, then you have chaos and violence as people settle disputes in an uncivil manner.
@finnian, you're wasting your breath with this "know-it-all." They're incapable of doing any personal research...much like the trolls on other social media platforms...full of self-righteousness and unfounded arguments, resides beneath a bridge and tries to scare anyone with an opinion that isn't as morally superior as theirs...you cannot educate the unwilling, for you have nothing to teach them that they didn't know coming out of the womb.
