Many things ruin lives. Prescription drug abuse can ruin lives. Alcohol can destroy a family. But these things are legal. Drug abuse is a health problem, not a criminal matter. I'd much prefer if we took even a fraction of the DEA's budget and put that towards mental health and rehabilitation centers. Prohibition does not work as evidenced by this very article. We tried it in the 20s with alcohol and said wow - that was a big mistake. Sadly, people like yourself continue to live in this fantasy land that it will work for drugs. You know what you call doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? Insanity.
