Good they've done it. It is a repeat of the "experiment" that was common practice in the UK (free drugs from registered GPs) until we decided to join the Yanks, and oh look, problems got worse...
These results will not matter as it seems we are dealing with idealists rather than pragmatists.

On the flipside, when as is inevitable these guys will be caught out partying hard they can just claim to do their bit... by avoiding the drugs ever make it to the US.
Plus, with friends like the Colombian paramilitaries they will probably a bit more guarded. You don't tend to make it out alive, let alone in one piece if you offend them, say by driving over their families with your truck.

That "experiment" did cause a precipitase rise in the number of heroin addicts over a 10 year basis, that was why it was stopped.
Re: War on Drugs has Failed... and in Other News the Sky is Blue
The rise doesn't look like a result of the experiment if you ask me. Heroin use has been rising before, during and after the experiment.
