Of course prevention is better than cure but we have failed in the last 100 years to eradicate hard drug use and catch the criminals. If we were good at it the price of illegal drugs would be going up but in fact around the world it has fallen dramatically in the last 20 years.
Remember the definition of stupidly is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. We are very good at catching and punishing users but we rarely get the Mr Bigs.
