“While improving efficiency, we still only successfully interdicted about six percent of known drug movements [in 2018].” Huh, could it be that criminalisation

“While improving efficiency, we still only successfully interdicted about six percent of known drug movements [in 2018].” Huh, could it be that criminalisation of a market where a very significant proportion of the population want to buy the product and there are sophisticated, now multi-national businesses willing to sell that product doesn't work? Even after 30-40 years of trying, was the reason the war on drugs hasn't worked not enough balloons? Are the population sufficiently comfortable with their cognitive dissonance to agree that despite their own behaviour in their youth, they're happy to lump "Drugs!" alongside "Terrorists!" and "Pedophiles!" in their personal list of reasons why they gave up their privacy so willingly?
