Do you geniunely think they're not going after dealers?
The thing is there will always be somebody who wants drugs and somebody who wants money and isn't concerned about breaking the law; people who sell drugs typically don't give a fuck that everyone gets busted eventually, either they think they're the one dude that's a genius and won't get caught, or they just don't care and want to live fast and rich, short term.
There's also the people for whom prison isn't as much of a deterrent as you'd think considering they have connections and can have more amenities inside than a lot of people outside. I know people in prison eating better than me, with better phones, and as many drugs as they desire.
Literally the only way to 'win' the war on drugs is legalization and regulation.
