Prohibition of ANY activity and substance desired by
humans has NEVER worked. It’s a waste of time energy
and resources. That is aside from the excuse it gives
evil politicians and petty bureaucrats to invade peoples lives and make them miserable.
The ONLY thing America got from Prohibition was thousands of
people dead from drinking cheap wood alcohol and organized crime. It was the profits from bootlegging that led petty
individual criminals to organize into groups to increase their profits from feeding the desire for a product that people want, will buy and will use regardless of any laws.
We saw that phenomenon with Capone et.al. and we see the same phenomenon with the cartels....all the badgemonkeys on the planet cannot stop the supply of desired goods...they can only destroy the lives of those they target with their efforts, along with many people who are just “collateral damage”.
Don’t forget the Kennedies. Prohibition gave us them, too.
