Has a US president ever effectively ended the war on drugs via the pardon power?

Given the talk by Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, Harry Browne, and Andre Marrou to pardon those convicted of federal drug offenses, the question comes to mind, has anybody actually done it, or it it just theoretical.

Well, it has been done, JFK did it.

A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Thomas Jefferson. A vote for Rand Paul is a vote for James Madison.
