I'm no expert but illegal drugs can be quite lucrative and attractive for rich-country governments. Here is why:
The celebrities and elite citizens will always seek the use of drugs. They are the 'real' dealers and users.
The rest of the population despises drugs and all of its related crime, violence and social breakdown. Thus public will to defeat drugs is established, for example the 'War on Drugs'.
Now here is where it gets interesting because those in power will obviously benefit from more power as a result of the crackdown on drugs.
So what we have is a system which feeds on the effects of drug dealing/usage and on anti-drug measures.
The government of the day will always 'try' to eradicate drugs but will never try hard enough, simply because there is too much profit involved, both financially and in terms of authority and control.
