It is self-perpetuating. As you would say, a self-licking ice cream cone.
The source is American Puritanism, not free enterpize
The corporations can't make money with it, without it being puritanical
I agree, hence why I advocate for de-criminalization of petty drug offenses. Arresting potheads and stacking up bales of marijuana are a small town PDs bread and butter. They don't do it for any reason other than to get gub'mint gibs. It doesn't do anything but feed the beast that is the PIC.
Your half way there, now you just got to get behind decriminalizing distribution, and stop throwing drug dealers who don't commit violent crimes in jail with those who do
Fuck the Prison Industrial Complex and the puritanical horse it rode in on

I've no problem with having legalized marijuana distributors. Pot for anyone who wants it, I say. That takes the trade out of the back alleys and into the light, where it can be open to scrutiny. Lower taxes on tobacco products and combine the two. Marlboro stogies.
I still think opioids and methamphetamine do nothing good for anyone. Lumpenproles are the main customers of that market, and do nothing but hurt the innocent people around them, so you keep the pharmaceutical grade stuff locked up. A lot of my views are informed from having been raised by a meth addict, so I admit, I'm a little biased.

Just because you do not think they do any good doesn't mean people should be thrown in jail for distribution, if they are selling to kids, that's different, but selling to grown adults should be no crime, whether the product is any good for it's consumers or not

Legal Meth for everyone, then?
Legal meth for grown adults who want it, yeah

Agree to disagree, then. Never seen a meth addict whose actions are localized to themselves with no splash damage.
Making distribution illegal is not going to help consumers, it's going to hurt them by forcing them to buy from criminals, you are making the problem worse and helping criminal enterprises to better fund the actual violent criminals who work for them, who will turn around and use it commit more violent crimes
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
Puritanical Nanny State for the fail
Prohibition is a miserable failure, and you want to double down

Yeah, the War of Prior Restraint really kicks ass on fixing all the splash damage.
