In the "War in Drugs"? Drugs won!
Seriously, why continue to try to resolve the drug issue by doing the same things that have failed for decades? Why not try something... new?
Legalizing drugs would first of all remove the "forbidden fruit" angle. Who else besides me bought into that back in the sixties? Tried it for a while and was done with it.
Revenues from legal drug sales could be used for more comprehensive prevention and treatment programs. Those same revenues which now benefit nefarious groups including terrorists would then be diverted to much more worthy causes.
As mentioned by many others previously, scare tactics are easily dismissed these days.
