It can't.
We lost. Bottom fucking line is we lost and as long as we have this shit going on the global drug warlords are making trillions of $$$. Just like prohibition in the early 1900's.
Even when the threat of death, beheading, amputation, torture are the punishments, people still deal and use.
That shows how crazy some people get when on dope and the money they can earn.

Back in 1990, the GAO did a report on the "War On Drugs"...
They concensus was that if the Goverment bought every drug in the UNITED STATES at street value which they spent on interdiction, they would have done a better job of winning the war on drugs than with their past and still current means of interdiction. Which btw, did not put a dent on street prices.
It was a funny thing to read, especially since I was in the military and involved with with interdiction.
