I am unsure if there is an ELI5 for this that isn’t based on some conspiracy theory.

People like to feel inebriated in one way or another. People who lack control on how to use drugs or those who help create that market by selling them know what that what they are doing is wrong. As a result they must be removed.

Nobody is focused on incarceration alone. You could ask a similar question…if a person knows the repercussions why do they continue to do dumb things?
