I will admit the 33 year war on drugs is indeed a failure.
Instead of legalizing one substance (MJ), why not try the "treat it as a medical problem, and if that doesn't work, then jail with a sentence commeasureate with the criime."

Addiction may be a medical problem---nonaddicted drug use is not.

and if that doesn't work, then jail with a sentence commeasureate with the criime."

The only sentence commeasureate with the 'crime' of substance use is no sentence at all.
