No politician wants to appear "soft on crime". As such, they feel they have to criminalize things, or assign stiffer penalties to things that are already criminalized.

Yes, the "War on Drugs" plays a huge part in this. Heck, now I have to sign a log and get my drivers license scanned just to buy cough medicine. I could end up in jail if the clerk screws up.
