DiogenesLamp doesn't agree that alcohol Prohibition was a failure - and when presented with evidence that it was, retreats to his self-contained reality where all evidence presented against substance bans is deemed unreliable because it's been presented as evidence against substance bans.

This is a misstatement of my position, but I expect no less of you. You can't win an argument without arguing against a false position.

What I said was that we have 85,000 people per year killed by Alcohol. You pro-drug types are always arguing that getting rid of prohibition was absolutely fantastically great, but I merely pointed out to you that the dead body pile is far higher than it would have otherwise been.

Somehow you morphed that into a claim that I am in favor of prohibition.

and when presented with evidence that it was, retreats to his self-contained reality where all evidence presented against substance bans is deemed unreliable because it's been presented as evidence against substance bans.

"Evidence" from the PRO-DRUG crowd is just as credible as "evidence" from the Global warming crowd, or the "Gays are born that way" crowd.

They aren't doing real research, they are starting out with the intent to justify drugs, (or Global Warming, Or Gays are born that way) and they then work backwards to their "evidence."

If there are any legitimate researchers in the pile, their work is lost in the heaping mass of all the propaganda driven "research."
