I can see how you'd reach this conclusion, but I also feel it discounts the decades of lobbying and protesting up to those moments. Plus, if the rationale was truly to make the populace more docile, why would there be such reluctance to legalization at the federal level in the U.S (not saying there isn't a counterpoint to this, re: keeping federal institutions full)?
That is true.
I am also looking at history too. The last time of a similar thing happened in the states was the end of prohibition in 1933, right when open fascist movements started to gain steam (and especially among the ruling class) as opposed to the right wing lead up to fascism during the prohibition era.
Not saying that there is causation, but it is definitely a pretty weird coincidence that the only two massive recreational drug legalizations in america happened right during the fascist movements early stages.
