At the federal level, half the WOD money is spent on anti-drug advertising and treatment programs (54.5% demand), and the other half on drug interdiction at the borders and overseas eradication efforts (45.5% supply).

Well then I guess half the WOSD money IS spent on drug education and so forth. My bad. But I still think that unless a drug user is also threatening or harming others, unless he is actually committing crimes related to his drug use, putting them in jail is not the solution. Then they lose whatever job they may have had, and they become enemies of the system instead of members. They get exposed to radical Islamists and gangsters. It's not worth all that over a little pot. Jail does not produce productive citizens.
