Should we end the drug war?

my question would be why do so many young people need to use drugs, you will never end the drugs war because of one thing MONEY, people get rich on the suffering of others, seeing someone hopelessly addicted to drugs is horrible,you Will never make drugs totally legal it will just cause a price war between dealers and government, the thing with cigarettes is yes they cause long term illnesses but you cant overdose on them and kill yourself in one go, i think more attention should be paid to why people need or want to use drugs in the first place.
