"Crimes are crimes for a reason" is one of the dumbest generalizations I've ever heard. I guess we better stop questioning laws then, right?

Of course we can question our laws. In fact these laws have often been questioned, and the voters, who make the decisions, have repeatedly sent legislators who support the criminalization of harmful drugs.

Crimes are crimes because the people throuogh their representatives want them to be crimes. Go ahead and call that a generalization, but the American people want drugs criminalized.

So your "reason" is popular support? What about laws that don't have popular support? And does popular support always justify a law that may be inefficien, corrupt, or unjust in practice?
