The insane US drug policy has been around under ever president since the 30's. They also forced it on every other country (look it up). The only President who was going to legalize it was Carter, and then his aide was busted with coke so had to abandon that idea. Thousands of people were jailed for possession alone during Clinton, although I don't remember anyone getting 55 years. Clinton liked locking up the poor blacks as much as any republican it would seem.
However, under this extremely conservative administration, there's certainly no way things are going to get better, and they very well could get worse. Image Bush started another "war on drugs" to get people's attention off of his complete incompetence in every other aspect of governing.
