JJ Rousseau said that an individual freedom stops when it threatens the freedom of others.
So having a nuclear weapon is not allowed because you can hurt me.
To some extend drugs may not be allowed because at the end of the day it is the general population that will have to pay for it.
Anything else, including the ability to kill yourself or have someone kill you is up to the individual. Not allowing this is crel and patronising. Worse: people who want to kill themselves will do that in a painful or incomplete way and suffer even more.
As for your last comment: this is the gray area we can argue. I am in favour of letting people choose freely but I can understand that temporary states may lead to a decision which is ultimately not good for the individual. This is very difficult to quantify, though.
The good thing, though, is that one you are dead, you are dead. It is not like you tell yourself that it was a bad decision.
