Yes, but there are no laws against discrimination on the grounds of the use of illicit substances are there? There are laws against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation which is the issue here.
We've just booked accomodation for a short getaway, and the website stated that if you wanted to book the place for an all male or all female party you should call ahead to discuss terms. I presume this is because they don't want stag/hen parties. As far as I'm aware the people running the place are within their rights to do this. They just can't do it on the basis of sexual orientation.
