The "War on Drugs" is a farce.

The politicos unleash the force of the state on users; basically a never-ending supply of victims. The users of course are rarely drawn from the "professional" or wealthy sectors (they might get "rehab" if they are ever even tagged) It's a mask, allowing the state to trample rights and funnel money to their friends imho.

It pours money into an exercise in futility, and away from anything that might possibly remedy the situation.
