The "drug cartels" are a little bit too nebulous of a target to declare or effectively wage a "war on drugs" on such and such terms.
A lot of heavily tattooed Mexican, U.S. Hispanic or South or Central Americans are being picked up by ICE either under the influence or in possession of various street drugs.
We need reasonable jobs and living situations for clean and sober law-abiding people free of obnoxious mental health services.

For example, people with terminal illnesses taking pain medications sometimes find out that their illnesses are no longer terminal, but they remain dependent on the pain medications — and sometimes need help getting off the medications without being treated as criminals and mentally ill or subjected to other court process or destruction of reputation. It should in those cases be part of the medical care without being "dumped" with bad grace at the doctor's office, as "I'm alive in spite of the fact that the medical doctors did not anticipate or plan for my survival."
