There's a neo-prohabitionist streak that most boomers (which most politicians are and also most voters) have. Consuming any mind altering substance that isn't culturally ingrained (i.e. alcohol or tobacco) is morally wrong, and therefore should be regulated and banned if possible. A lot of them seem to be under the impression that if recreational drugs were legal, everybody would spend their waking hours high and no work would ever get done. My boss recently claimed that they shouldn't legalise recreational cannabis because everyone would be high all the time, yet somehow people manage to avoid being drunk all the time, or at least most of us do.
