No, because Libertarians and Objectivists don't understand the necessity of government regulation in free markets... A Libertarian or Objectivist would be against regulation and taxing of drugs.
This is standard neo-classical marginalist welfare economics. You can study microeconomics yourself and you will see this is quite standard theory. Modern economists understand that pigovian taxes can be used to offset the dead weight loss in markets caused to society by negative externalities.
This means tax the drugs to cover the cost to society. You are already paying these costs, you've just moved who pays for them to yourself, and not the drug user... and literally making everyone's life worse by not allowing people to pursue their own choices when they do not limit other people's choices.
