"what has the war on drugs really ended up accomplishing?"
A lot of comments here have a "Portland was a lot better before decriminalization" theme. So at least some people might think the war on drugs was working out better than the current policies.
I'm not saying we should bring back the war on drugs, but the argument you are making can no longer be taken for granted.
Also you can just point to all the countries that do have a war on drugs, and have been successful, and do not have major problems with drugs as a result.
