Sending the druggies out of prison would save a bunch. The drug war absent prison doesn't cost much. Thus the prison thing seems to be a logical focus.

This is not even close to true. Each marijuana bust alone costs $35k. There are over 700k arrest for marijuana each year. You do the math. This doesn't even consider the 4-6 billion we send overseas each year to fight the war on drugs

I agree. Drug use is a medical problem and should be treated that way.
