Honestly I'd put money on "so the US can't accuse them of narcoterrorism and fuck them up even more - despite Canada literally chilling with all the weed ever, while being even closer than Cuba is". It's not necessarily a good reason, and I might be just pulling this out of my ass, but look at what Amerikkka did to every country that supplies them with weed or coke
Five years (or so) back, Mexico was talking about legalizing Weed. Guess how the US liked that idea. Legalizing all drungs would radically save lifes. Unregulated markets alwasy lead to the most ruthless winning. Plus, who ever thought "uhh, I would really love to do some heroin now but I don't want to buy it on the streets". Just sell everything in pharmacies.
