It is. All that instability in Mexico, C. America, and South America is continuing because of the failed War on Drugs. Horrible prison conditions are a result of the War on Drugs. Non-violent offenders being placed in prison and being exposed to violent offenders, which causes increased crime, is a result of the War on Drugs. Police being churned out of "training" not knowing the laws they're supposed to uphold is a result of the War on Drugs. The US having a disproportionate amount of people in prison is a result of the War on Drugs. The lack of any reform for mental illness is a result of the War on Drugs.
It most certainly is a pressing issue that effects almost everyone in the country, not just pot smokers or whatever reasoning you have for it not being a big ****ing deal.
