If you think that, then you did not understand what I wrote. The price of alcohol under Prohibition at least tripled compared to what consumers paid for alcohol prior to it.

I understood completely... but.. we don't live in the 20's 30's or 60's anymore.

Welcome to the new world.

The Anti smokers, and MADD, changed the rules.

Your's will be far worse.

Only if you let them. The didn't change the rules, FDR and the New Deal Court did that. The drug war relies on those same rules, and you can find the same people pushing the drug war, anti-smoking campaigns, MADD, nationalized health care, and gun control. It's a package deal, if you buy the premise you buy the bit.

If taxes and regulations become unreasonable, then the market simply goes underground. And terrorists and organized criminals will reap the profits, as they have been doing for years from this ill-conceived social experiment called the War on Drugs.
