Arguments for the prohibition of drugs

Can anyone provide me with good arguments supporting the prohibition of drugs? Here are my arguments against the prohibition:
1. Prohibiting drugs increases violence. Murder rates dropped significantly when the USA ended it's prohibition of alcohol in the 1930's.
2. The prohibition of drugs is counter productive, it results in the funding of organized crime, terrorists and corrupt politicians.
3. The prohibition of drugs is hypocrisy, alcohol and tobacco are newbielink:http://neurobonkers.com/2012/08/06/the-largest-ever-study-in-to-drug-harms-places-alcohol-in-the-top-four/

than most drugs yet they are legal. The danger posed by drugs has been grossly exaggerated.
4. Many drug users are otherwise law abiding people, criminalizing them is unfair and a waste of police resources.
5. The war on drugs shows no sign of ending and appears to be unwinnable.
