It is far more difficult to condemn illegal drug trade and consumption than it is to condemn the trade and consumption of completely ineffective "medicine".

Drug production and use generally causes little damage, the same does not apply for this insane "natural medicine" practiced by some people.

Illegal drug production causes immense damage. Look at Columbia circa 1990 for an extreme example.

As for condemnation, that is entirely subjective. Poisoning the well and accepting random damage to save animals is not imo a morally just move.
