The conversation in America, on any topic, is between two extreme sides which get further apart and further unreasonable as time passes. Fast forwarding circa 2021, one side wants to throw anyone with 1g of marijuana in a 30ft radius from their car into jail for 10 years, the other wants free heroin dispensing machines in schools.

More seriously, the big distinction is between drug users and drug dealers. The former are usually victims and deserve our collective help, the latter are usually predators and deserve to rot in jail. I haven't followed Hollywood in the past decade, but in my recollection Hollywood used to correctly vilify drug dealers.
