Yes, yours, in post #7.
The war on drugs has been lost.
A war is lost when it produces no clear gains and substantial collateral damage---such as deaths of innocents in drug-turf wars; deaths of users due to impurities or unexpectedly high potencies; enrichment of criminals; corruption of the justice system by enriched criminals; and lessened respect for the law in general.
