I don't think there is anything wrong with asking about drug interactions, illegal or not. Yes, most likely it will mess up one's life to a certain extent (though I do disagree about the mention that LSD will kill). However pharmacists aren't likely to provide information about interactions when the question involves illegal substances and most people will refrain from asking their doctor out of fear. If someone has no place to get information or at least input, he may think twice about mixing drugs, but most likely won't refrain from ultimately doing it, which could truly be harmful because the thought might be..."oh I'm worrying too much, it probably won't do anything." At least he or she will know the inherent risks if any, as there might be no interaction or a truly severe one. Information is a great service, and it shouldn't be denied to anyone.
