I believe it’s called unintended consequences.
Some people are going to get high however they can. The recent crackdown on prescription drugs has resulted in an increase in heroin use because it is now cheaper and easier to get than oxycodone.

Then one must be firm enough to act directly against the users as well as the substances themselves. Prohibitions do work, they simply do not work perfectly. However, no Prohibitory law works perfectly; i.e. the laws against murder have not stopped murder. Do we therefore refuse to pass and prosecute acts of murder? Indeed, I have read that most murders in the U.S. are never solved. Therefore, do we stop passing and prosecuting laws against murder?

There are only two major values left today Power and Pleasure.

No joke. Just yesterday my wife told me that kids are putting Burt Bee's lip balm on their eyelids to get high. It's called 'beesing'. Unreal.
