Why are 'drugs' illegal?

Simple question! Apparently it's a personal choice, we are all grown ups with responsibility and accountability for ourselves, so why should they be illegal. Why not just an age gate maybe and some centralised pertinent guidance?

I don't know which you're talking about, but here's some info on deaths by mischance in the US.

In 2015, deaths in the U.S. from drug overdose surpassed deaths from gun homicides and motor vehicles combined. Although finalized overdose death data have not yet been released for 2016, estimates indicate that overdose deaths are again set to eclipse total deaths from motor vehicle accidents and gun homicides.

@Mamapolo2016 accepted, why is dying illegal then, given the choice? I would also maybe want to see deaths caused by controlled quality and educated informed use, to compare. The illegality of them bear alot on consumption quality and habits.
