It worked in China.
And it does work in Iran. Just because drug use or drug selling hasn't been completely eradicated doesn't mean anything. There is absolutely not the problem in these countries that we have here.

If you want to explore what serious widespread drug use looks like, see what khat has done.

Consequently khat is very popular sometimes compared to coffee or cocktails. The effect of perfectly legal khat....:
A khat-addled public is more inclined to complacency about the failings of the government, khat ceremonies reinforce the exclusion of women from power and, as is obvious to anyone finding a government office nearly empty on a weekday morning, khat is keeping the country awake well past its bedtime.
"You sit up discussing all your problems and think you've solved everything, but in fact you haven't done anything in the last four hours, because you've just been chewing khat and all your problems actually got worse," says Adel al-Shujaa, a professor of political science at Sana'a University and the head of the Yemen Without Khat Association. Plus, he says, "all the decisions you've made are bad because you've made them while on khat."

Khat is pretty much like pot.
Katz come on porn, booze, drugs and pre-marital sex are all against Islamic law but that doesn't stop Muslims from doing them, Osama Bin Laden himself was caught with porn on his computer.
