The war on drugs was directed towards the source/suppliers and has been a failure. The war on drugs should have been directed towards the users. A Scandanavian country (I cannot recall which one) had a major drug problem and they started a war on drugs by a mandantory 1 year lock down with an intense treatment program for users. If...when they got out...they began using again they got another mandantory 1 year lock down once again. They claim to have reduced drug usage by 70 plus percent which would of course put a major dent in the source/suppliers...where as the last I heard our war on drugs reduces the source/suppliers by about 2 percent.
