A miserable failure in every way. Even conservatives are beginning to question its intelligence and effectiveness. Like Prohibition during the '20s, the banning of drugs now puts the business into the hands of organized crime.
Drugs are by no means great, but there would be far less deaths, murders, and waste of money if most of them were simply legalized or at least decriminalized.

The conflict between gamers and furries. The guys do the fighting and the girls mass produce sandwiches. This war has taken many lives on both sides but both factions continue to hammer each other with weapons. The gamers have the infinity gauntlet on their side and will use it as a last resort.
“Get this info to HQ, we can’t lose the furry war!”

Taken place on the fortnight of February 26th, 1987, Captain Schlurnt and the men of the North Dakotan Army stormed into South Dakota in order to combine the Dakotas into one. The South Dakotan Militia vehemently opposed such a ordeal, leading Major Blunkus of the SDM to prepare defenses in the case of an invasion. Blunkus and his men killed at least 14 North Dakotans, essentially eradicating half the population of North Dakota in a matter of minutes. In light of this devastating loss, the Treaty of Barren Wastelands was signed the next day, keeping North and South Dakota separate for at least the next 41 years.

South Dakotan: Oh, that’d be the Mighty Major Blunkus, who repelled the savage North Dakotans during the Dakota War on the fortnight of February 26th, 1987.
A century-long attempt by the American government to suppress the recreational use of narcotics, based for the bulk of its history upon racial prejudice. The first major piece of federal legislation (the Harrison Act) was passed in 1914, chiefly justified by a fear of east-asian opium. In the subsequent years, marijuana became the primary focus of drug warriors as its use was increasingly associated with Mexican immigrants and the (black-dominated) jazz scene. Correlating drug use with inner-city crime, Richard Nixon (and later Ronald Reagan) explicitly declared war on drug use in the US, and allocated massive spending increases to the associated federal bureaus. While the rhetoric used by George Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush was less harsh, no effort has been made in the past twenty years to rein in federal spending on the drug war; over that span the media spotlight was shifted from inner-city crack abuse to inner-city heroin abuse to youth ecstasy use to rural methamphetamine use in the hopes of maintaining hysteria.
The war on drugs has focused primarily upon two weakly-related goals: the reduction of domestic demand for drugs based upon punitive measures (that is, jail time) and the reduction of foreign supply through crop eradication and the interception of drug shipments (the end goal being to raise US prices by lowering supply). As is borne out by the US government's own data, both strategies are crippled by deep logical flaws.
The first flaw concerns the economics of black markets: rendering a product illegal does little to raise the cost of its production, but does much to raise its price. Profits soar, creating a massive incentive for new players to enter the business at all levels. Because drugs are cheap and easy to produce, farmers in poor areas can make better money and grow larger crops than they can with fruits and vegetables. Because drugs are cheap and easy to sell, dealers in poor areas can make more than they can working a minimum wage job. The profitability of the drug trade poses another problem as well: any time a major figure is arrested or killed, another person, or worse, several persons, are available to replace them, doing nothing to stem the trade but increasing its violence.
The second flaw is inherent to the logic of the drug warriors' attempts to restrict supply: In an ordinary market, prices vary consistently with supply, but the illegality of drugs creates a price floor: At high levels of supply prices are artificially held high by the mere fact that drugs are illegal. Until a certain threshold of drug interception is reached (roughly 70-80% of incoming shipments) prices will be more or less constant. The US currently estimates it finds 10% of the drugs entering the country.
The drug war does nothing to prevent addiction or lower prices: the National Survey on Drug Use and Health has shown an increase in addiction rates over the past thirty years, and a sharp drop in prices. The only success, such as it is, has been a drop in the casual (infrequent and non-dangerous) use of marijuana.
There are of course many disastrous social consequences to the War on Drugs, but they are too many and too depressing to discuss here.
"We do know this, that more people die every year as a result of the war against drugs than die from what we call, generically, overdosing."

The Badussy War was a global conflict between the Barb Allied Powers and the WAP Axis Powers that took place from 1938 to 1945. The conflict began when the Cardigan Empire attacked the the Jiafei Republic in July 19, 1938 for their products. The United States Of Barbica, Doja Kingdom, CupcakKe Union, Grande Kingdom, and Democratic Republic of Peaches, who were allies to the Jiafei Republic, were thus pulled into a war with the Cardigan Empire. The Cardigan Empire's allies, the James Charles Republic, Azalea Union, Swiftussy Empire, and the Stallion Empire, were also dragged into the war against the Barb Allied Forces. The War was a terrifying one, and more there were more than 100,000,000 casualties. The Barb Allied Forces were victorious at the end, and in November 2, 1945, the WAP Axis Powers were forced to pay war reparations. The Cardigan Empire, Azalea Union, and Stallion Empire were forced to give up some of its land, and the James Charles Republic was dissolved into many smaller countries.
The image below shows President Nicole Maraj of the United States Of Barbica condemning Supreme Leader Cardica Bacillious for her invasion of the Jiafei Empire. She was assassinated 4 days later. The casualties of the Badussy War were profound.
