Central Drug Authority admits failure in war on drugs

The 2008 Central Drug Authority Annual report (p81) reads as follows:

"On the basis of comparing the baseline data contained in the CDA Annual Report 2006/2007, the NDMP mission of a measurable reduction in the supply, consumption and harm associated with substance use and abuse in South Africa has clearly not been achieved.

Current indications are that despite the work done by the CDA and it's incomplete implementing infrastructure, the drug problem has grown."

There it is in black and white. You might think that the CDA might ask why its policy is failing, but no. That doesn't happen.
