To this day there are people that support it, as long as it's for other people. Even here on HN where the audience is ostensibly more enlightened you'll see comments along the lines of "sure legalize cannabis and mdma, but let's not do so with the dangerous drugs like meth and heroin". That thought is part of the "protecting us from ourselves" lie, and it is well intentioned at that point but it certainly doesn't help anybody.
