Colombia's new president Gustavo Petro declared that fighting the war on drugs has failed.

but he means, fighting that war on Colombia's territory has failed. He's right about that. But he seems not to realize that fighting that war on US territory is equally a failure. "Strong measures that prevent consumption in developed societies" is not a solution to the problems caused by use of addictive drugs.

We should put that war into a treatment program to get it off drugs.
