If you look at figure 1 on this CDC page (which looks at deaths rather than overall usage), I’d suggest the numbers are trending the exact opposite to what “winning” the war on drugs would look like.

I think you are still vastly misunderstanding what the war on drugs concerns. This level of overdose deaths is a problem, but not really what the struggle is really about.
