criminalization boosts the relative value of highly-concentrated goods over less-concentrated goods. Correct. During prohibition distilled spirits, brandy, and beer rose in price by 400, 450, and 700% respectively.
Although the effects of 1 shot of liquor is the same as 1 beer, the chance of getting arrested while supplying beer was higher --it makes beer more costly.

Alcohol is different than marijuana. If legalized, farmers will try to get more TCH content per acre, thereby raising the income. Why buy wimpy dope for the same price as kickass dope?
