I agree. Many people (perhaps those without religion or some other mechanism that provides an external moral code) just adapt the law as their moral code: if it's legal, it's moral; if it's illegal, it's immoral. Of course, this fact is always obfuscated when talking about drug legalization because it is harmful to the legalization effort to suggest that legalizing a drug will lead to increased usage/acceptance of said drug (usually the opposite claim is made - that legalizing the drug will reduce usage)
