people may think the wod is failing....but that doesnt necessarily mean they disagree with a wod. -- all it means is what it says :the wod is failing.
im sure a majority of the people polled support the wod, or even would support doubled efforts as far as the "war" goes.
only ~20% said the solution was treatment and education. i wonder what the remaining 80% think? maybe that increased penalties for drugs, increased mandatory minimums, decreased tolerance, etc. is the solution.
