Is there any evidence that the war on drugs has even slowed the use of drugs? When any 14 year old can score at any time of the day or night I am doubtful that there is anything positive coming out of the war on drugs.
It is certainly right to preach being drug free (I’ve never even puffed a joint) but drug laws seem to serve little purpose.
Yours is a complex questions with hidden assumptions. Perhaps you can simplify your question by reading Title 21 of US Code, or the equivalent in your home state, and target your questions according to the letter of the laws you decry.
I simply cannot even begin to venture an answer to such a broad question. The matter is not that simple.
