The failed war on drugs

That's because if the war really worked they'd all be out a dealer or two.

It's interesting that criminals in office want people to think they're concerned with getting criminals off our streets.
When like unto gun control laws, the drug laws don't actually impact the source of the problem. Just the people who are consumers of the the product said to be the problem.

Indeed. When one examines the Prohibition of Alcohol in the twenties, it gave rise, not to crime, but organized crime. They started forming mafias in the US. Now, with our current prohibition, we've given the same bloody fate to Mexico. In the 20s, mobsters got rich and corrupted the government. Now, cartels are rich and corrupting the government. I'm not trying to make a point here or anything, just discussing the topic.
