It has, we failed. We have too many non-violent criminals returned into hardened criminals for what, being caught with a little amount of crack that if it were any other drug, it would get them maybe a year.
More likely, getting busted for retail theft, B&E, purse snatching and/or intent to sell than simple possession.

Those with dependence/addiction issues are the more likely to discount the impact of their choices on other people.
If only the impact could be limited to the people who use. Unfortunately, many have a tendency to get behind the wheel and use their cars and trucks to injure and/or kill other people.
They have a tendency to steal anything not nailed down from their employers ( to the extent they can hold a job), retail, their friends and family.
They lie. They cheat. They steal.
There's an old saying about how either an alcoholic or a drug addict will take your wallet. The difference is the drug addict is more likely to help you look for it.
There isn't really a war on drugs. Obama and others keep the border wide open and allow the Mexican cartels to bring tons of very addictive drugs over every day.
Indian Reservations are seeing a tragic level of deaths from Indian youth from drug overdoses almost all of it brought over the border, and no one is doing a thing to stop it. It's known that the Mexican cartels are targetting Indian Reservations --- and the federal government simply sits by and allows them to do so.
They're also targetting the inner cities like that of Chicago. There is no war on drugs. Shorty Guzman isn't a multi-billionaire for no reason.
Alcohol remains the single most serious form of substance abuse within the Native American community. And then comes meth, most of it from Mexico. Reservations have been targeted because each has a sovereign state status and limited resources to do much of anything about it. In other words, a reservation becomes a regional hub.
