You think the US would have learned from the failure of prohibition that simply making something illegal and jailing people for creating, distributing or consuming it doesn't work. I personally feel that the only proper thing to do is to legalize all drugs but strongly discourage the use of the more harmfull (ie addictive, body damaging) ones through education and public programs. This might increase some aspects of the drug problems but it could save billions in reduced drug enforcement, jailings and all the money spent by the US in the drug producing countries to try and stem production. I also think the deathrate due to the violence inherit in the whole drug war would fall dramitically. It's time to end the war on drugs!
