One interesting thing is how long it will take to get rid of these sorts of things once the war on (some) drugs ends.

Marijuana is legalized for recreational use in two states, and for medical use in twenty-three (including those two recreational states). It's also decriminalized in six more. The national government is starting to talk about rescheduling it as well.

There'll still be other drugs to chase after but clearly SOMETHING is changing here.

It's fully legalized here in Uruguay, and the sky hasn't fallen yet.

Nothing lasts forever. See Entropy.

I don't really think entropy is relevant to the war on drugs...

Well, it is, but not at the scales we care about.
