No, the only problem is caused by the criminality of the substance. If it isn't illegal then none of what you said happens.

The negatives are the same for what we see with lots of other addictive substances that are legal. Things like being disorderly, committing crime to pay for things. It isn't a perfect solution by any means but the majority of arguments made against it start with the line drugs are bad and never budge.
