I think a point of yours is partly that there may be a situation that involves more than one thing that might each be considered good. A person might declare that prospective good A should yield way to prospective good B in the situation. Another person might insist on the other hand that the reverse is true: B should rule over A.
Perhaps too often libertarians make blanket statements. "Everyone should not violate another's property rights." But what about children, don't they have a right to be protected against making poor choices? They are all too often too naive.
Let me shift to another issue. I suspect you are making assumptions that may not be realistic. One possible example: The State will "deliver" the results that we can "reasonably" expect to get. But the War on Drugs has lasted for decades now and the end does not seem to be in sight.
