Has the war on drugs failed?

Has the war on drugs failed? For an answer to that, check out this talk at Google by Stanford "Neill" Franklin:

Mr. Franklin is a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP). He says that, from a law enforcement perspective, it has failed. As for LEAP he says, "We teach people about our failed policies. We teach about what occurs on the front lines."

Also, don't miss his comments about HBO's show, "The Wire." This is around 10:05 of the video. Maybe I need to watch that show!
