Yup, I changed my comment while you were replying. I still disagree that a lot of this isn't the result of the War on Drugs (and there are studies that agree[1]: "More than 50 percent of people in federal prisons are incarcerated for drug law violations. Almost 500,000 people are behind bars for a drug law violation on any given night in the United States – ten times the total in 1980.") but again we end at the same conclusion.
