William Randolph Hearst is why you can't do drugs today. He didn't want the cheap hemp from the south interfering with his lumber and rope business. He used THC and Dope Addiction to accomplish that. It was all about money and using politics to make anything that stops the big shots from making money illegal.
Try buying cheaper drugs in Mexico and Canada (Rx type drugs) and bring them back to the U.S. You will see that principle is alive and well today.
No, morality and law have no common ground.
