I think the bar is generally when people cross from hurting just themselves to hurting uninvolved others.
Underage drinking: illegal because you can drunk drive into someone else.
Underage drinking with parents at home: totally legal because you can’t affect others.
Weed: (mostly) legal, small consequences otherwise, non-addictive
Heroin: totally illegal because addiction can bring someone to harm others to get their fix.

About $200k is sufficient to hire full-time staff for a month to ensure you do not harm anyone. No, there's a great moral panic around many of these things just like rock and roll.
