What makes you think it would be any different with drugs? Worse, since drugs are far easier to smuggle across state lines.

As you have admitted, alcohol prohibition did not work. It actually increased crime.

And you have unwittingly admitted that the WOD cannot work and has actually increased crime.

Paulsen admits prohibitions don't work:

"Dry" states, however, found that alcohol was being shipped in from "wet" states. They petitioned the federal government for help and Congress passed the Webb-Kenyon Act, forbidding this activity. It wasn't effective, and Prohibition soon followed.

Eagle Eye spots bobbies error:

Nice catch. -- But don't expect any rational reply from paulsen.
He's a past master of BS bafflegab when it comes to explaining away his many obvious problems with logic.
