Cost of War on Drugs

I fould this nifty little clock that displays the current cost of the "War on Drugs".
You can view it here

As of this writing the war is costing us a combined state and federal amount of $31,015,599,601, and climbing faster than a scared cat up a tree.

And how are we doing? France has done better at it's wars than we are doing in the war on drugs.

If, as the Partnership for a Drug Free America implies, drugs use is a disease, then shouldn't we use this money to fight that disease and not on police actions?
