There was a reason alcohol was illegal too. Should it have stayed that way?

Probably. Why don't you ask that of all the families who've had loved ones die because some drunken *hole decided to get behind the wheel or physically beat someone to death. Most times they only get a slap on the wrist because alcohol is legal.

There is much research showing that the prohibition of alcohol and drugs raised the homicide rate in the U.S. during the 20th century.
