“Haven’t been many bootleg-related murders since 1933”.

deaths from alcohol- including drunk driving- especially teenage deaths- don’t count?

yeah just make drugs legal and let parents then argue with kids about how harmful they are. Cut those legs right out from under us.

I’m talking MURDER.

And the drinking was actually heavier under prohibition. The “forbidden fruit” thing.

People are both drunk and high on the roads all the time. No legislation seems to change that. Only police repression might.

We’ve been in a “war on drugs” for what, 25 years?

It’s not working out very well on any front. Might as well toss in the towel and admit that there is no way we can really legislate morality.
