"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.

Tough beans. Who ever promised any state that they could effectively enforce any damn-fool law that entered their heads?
Since I said "how alcohol is currently regulated", I fail to see your point:

And that was a huge flop. What followed was much more sensible.

We are already at the Prohibition stage, using your alcohol comparison. If it follows in alcohol's staggering path, then I see no reason that prohibition would be reimposed.
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.
