It makes sense in the context of other policy such as the body scanners at airports that were talked about here recently. It seems all about playing on the populations fears "you don't want another terrorist attack", "you don't want you children exposed to illegal drugs". I'd imagine there would be a large percentage of the population primed with the opinion that drugs are bad without any real informed opinions past that. Sure it's still being sold, but more in an out of sight out of mind type way for those opposed.
