That's a good way to sum it up. I don't think previous and current drug prohibition legislation has done the world a complete favor. It was initially forged with good intentions (or was it?) and has it caused some serious problems that aren't properly addressed?
There should be more money spent on serious, early intervention, drug education and rehabilitation services in my opinion, rather then millions on a military approach to what should essentially be a health issue.
Anyhow. My brain is completely fucked right now, need sleep. Might touch on this later, find this particular topic of discussion so interesting.
