Consumption would probably have surpassed pre-Prohibition levels even if Prohibition had not been repealed in 1933.

Sourceless and self-serving invention by the libertines at Cato.

Heightened enforcement did not curtail consumption.

I guess you're just not picking up on what I'm trying to say. Think about it, we have the problems now that you've pointed out. I'm not opposed to the phony war on drugs because I want more crime. Quite the opposite.

As the Cato Institute illustrates, and as I'm saying, it's prohibition that leads to the problems that you list. Repealing the idiotic laws now sure can't make things any worse, and clearly will make things better.
