The article argues the war on drugs costs hundreds of billions and yields mixed results. It cites federal spending near 1 billion monthly and societal costs of 280 billion annually, with drug use decline among youths and Colombia coca cultivation down 15 percent in 2002. It features opposing views from Wilson and Becker and notes progress per Monitoring the Future and U.S. collaboration with Colombia. Drug Czar John Walters remains cautiously optimistic.
