The war on drugs is a failure by any measurable standard other than who made the most money off the backs of the prosecution of our citizens.

Congratulations to drugs for winning the war on drugs.

Congratulations to the DEA for winning the budget for the war on drugs.

Aaaand congratulations to the end beneficiaries of all of this action - big pharma, who made a boatload selling highly addictive, legal drugs and leaving a trail of decline, death and despair in its trail. Clamp down on the illegal stuff while simultaneously boosting the potency of legal stuff to the point it's often greater. Those dirty generic heroin users should use Fentanyl patches, like Duragesic®.
