Perhaps it's done on the measure of threat whatever administration at the time deems the level of whatever particular drug is. Such as sending US down to South America to fight the "war on drugs". Or as you stated- a seemingly rare case of local opinion weighing on the actions. Or perhaps another thread should be started in paranoia.
