Legalization didn't end bootlegging since the heavy tax on booze made the legal alcohol far more expensive than the boot leg kind.

Evidence?

What killed most stills was a superior commercial product

And there could be a commercial product only because of legalization. I don't know what you think your hairsplitting proves.

since many of the stills were just making sugar whiskey contaminated with wood alcohol and fusal oil.

Illegal pot is not infrequently laced or contaminated; thanks for another parallel between Prohibition and the War On Drugs.

That plus the tax man.

He'll be around when pot is legalized; thanks for another parallel between Prohibition and the War On Drugs.

Most illegal alcohol during prohibition came from Canada

A lot of illegal drugs come across the border; thanks for another parallel between Prohibition and the War On Drugs.

and what didn't was garbage and poisonous.

Conservatives learn from history ... liberals cling to utopian fantasies (like a drug-free society).

Then you think it is the moral conservatives that want relaxation of drug laws

Conservatives learn from history - whether "moral conservatives" learn from history or cling to utopian fantasies remains to be seen.
