You have to see it from the other side, @doitvoluntarily. “War on drugs” is actually a fake title, that is missing a word. It should say: “War on controlling drugs”, and was never fought to be won — as Orwell would say:

“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.”
