Almost all of the excesses can be traced to two sources:

a) Constitutionally dubious delegation of legislative authority to the administrative state and too many administrative agencies;

b) the legislature seeking a workaround for various courts' expansion of procedural rules (again, without legislation) by passing innumerable criminal offenses with draconian penalties

Above all at the Federal level is the utter abandonment of the Constitution's limited grant of authority to Congress over interstate commerce. Congress has literally no authority over the manufacture, sale or possession of anything unless it crosses state lines or an international boundary.
