No it's more like the government's way to have an excuse to be able to go after anyone by making many things illegal. It's a huge power leverage. That's far beyond being petty about what you can eat or wear. Although it's mostly just inertia. There's little to gain by taking intelligent stances on things. What politician will gain much by appearing to be in favor of LSD? Same for things like seizure laws. Why hurt donors' budgets by pushing back on such laws? And also run the risk of being painted as sympathetic to cartels or terrorists?
