When they did away with alcohol prohibition, did they have alcohol addicts spike up quickly as well?

Alcohol was never prohibited. (It was legal to possess, for instance.) It was made a bit more difficult to get.

According to my grandparents, during Prohibition people actually drank far more than they did either before or since. The "forbidden fruit" factor. Will it be the same with pot? I suppose we are going to find out.

I'd have a lot more respect for pro-pot Libertarians if they'd start coming to the defense of tobacco smokers more often. Or of my right to drive anywhere late evenings on a weekend without having to encounter DUI checkpoints everyplace.
