That this case was severly mishandled does not mean that the war on drugs is completely sickening. Somehow I believe that this case is pretty unusual, and the majority of the war on drugs are focused on stopping those who import/make/sell harder drugs like meth, coke, speed and so on which certainly is the target for the war on drugs, not people using medication for an illness.
Using this case as a symbol of the war on drugs is like finding a case where someone has been wrongfully convicted and sentenced to life in prison for murder when he in reality killed in self defense, and then make the assumption that the fight against murderers and the illegality of murder is sickening.
