War on Drugs: US Surrenders

The White House unveiled a new drug policy strategy that veers away from imposing heavy prison sentences for illicit drug use and focuses instead on prevention and treatment.

Officials said that the administration would move away from outmoded policies like the mass incarceration of nonviolent drug offenders, and toward an approach that balances public health and safety.

"Outmoded." How about "ineffective"?

I wouldn't expect things to change in Texas if I were you.
