My biggest problem with the war on drugs is not the frivolous spending and disgusting financial cost to the taxpayer, or the ruined lives of people in jail for nonviolent crimes. My biggest problem with the war on drugs is that it has created drug education that is propagandized, but even worse, even the nonpartisan content is still severely inadequate and abstinence focused. It really sucks to hear of my friends from highschool are doing 'MDMA' without waiting long enough to not do brain damage to themselves. Not to mention, they're sourcing these drugs at festivals and are probably instead taking synthetic cathinones. It pains me to think that most of my friends don't reagent test their blotter, and will take 4 tabs of 'acid' without thinking that it actually is probably 2C-E and they could die from it. It bothers me that people have parents that will drug test them, so they're smoking JWH-017 and irreversibly fucking their brains up because they don't know any better. Those in the know rely on sites like wikipedia, reddit, and erowid to get our drug information. Those that are not in the know rely on their 5th grade DARE education which they've entirely rejected after realizing weed isn't deadly, and word of mouth from other not in the know drug users that are obviously biased towards drugs not being harmful. So in summary, yes, I 100% agree with you. I've many friends that are on heroin, a few that have escaped it, and a few that I know won't. I have nothing to say besides that it's super fucked up and I'm glad I learned about erowid before I had the opportunity to do any drugs.
