According to the FBI, two out of three murder cases are cleared; in contrast, the number for drug sales is assuredly no more than two out of three-thousand.
What is your point?
As the link explains, "cleared" is basically FBI-ese for solved; my point is that the war on murder is going orders of magnitude better than the war on drugs.

OK, so most murders are solved with convictions. Most drug sales charges are not.
Does that mean sales of recreational drugs should be legal? I don’t see why that fact would make it so. It may mean that we need to prosecute better; or we are arresting too many people; or we plea bargain away a lot of charges. But I don’t think, standing alone, that it’s a good reason to stop prosecuting drug dealing.
