Or in Iran: "Drug abuse in Iran rising despite executions, police raids" - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3256793/posts
Whether it's the war on drugs or prohibition of alcohol or socialism/marixism/communism, the arguments why all have failed will usually be things like: the wrong people were in charge, they weren't smart enough or wise enough or that they didn't spend enough, etc.
NO! All fail because they attempt to control human nature and make human nature illegal.
The attempts, no matter how wise, well intended or how much money is spent, all run counter to natural law and what the Master Programmer wrote into our most basic source code and BIOS.
What all attempts create instead is a black market, an underground sub-culture and a police state that attempts to control them.
Our own experience with prohibition should have taught us that much, but it didn't. And now our war on drugs has created all of the predictable problems, decade after decade. Deja vu all over again.
Ben Franklin was right about freedom, liberty and safety, and I bet he knew we'd ignore him, too.
