War Against Drugs

I don't proclaim to the know the answer to drug problems in this country, but it seems to me that the War on Drugs hasn't exactly stemmed the problem. If prohibition didn't work and had the result of making organized crime worse, well, maybe the same can be said of the drug trade today?
