In San Andreas defense, the game does try to portray some sort of sense of write in wrong in that drugs are bad. It becomes self-evident in the characters and of people of whom who were strong before and are now addicted. One of the missions to beat up a crack dealer. Granted the harm of someone else is deemed acceptable, however, the harm of oneself seems to be not. It seems like the main character doesn't or hasn't been involved with any hard drugs or majurana. The abuse of these illegal drugs come with conquenses as the storyline progress(more on this later.) Being involved with a prostute, killing civialians and defacing/stealing property is an acceptable part of the reality in San Andreas. But the body as it seems, is a temple and therefore the moralism seems to be placed on the self and not on others. San Andreas makes you eat, workout and excerise to stay fit. The bad guys are those who can't control their own actions which even includes some of the characters on grove st. (the overeater and the pot-smoker.)
