Yellowstoned National Park?
If this doesn't prove that the War on Drugs is a hopeless cause, nothing will:
Hikers in national parks such as Yosemite and Sequoia-Kings Canyon are encountering a danger more hazardous than bears: illegal marijuana farms run by Mexican drug cartels and protected by booby traps and guards carrying AK-47s.
National Park Service officials testified in Congress on Thursday that illegal drug production in national parks, forests and other federal lands had grown into a multibillion-dollar business in recent years -- mostly concentrated in California.
If the feds can't eradicate drugs on their own property--drugs protected by booby traps and armed guards, no less--then how in the world can they possibly eradicate drugs in the entire country?

You're assuming that the Fed wants to eradicate drugs.
