About prohibition, I have noticed:
"Prohibition does not prevent. Prohibition makes the good things bad and the bad things worse."
Way to hand something over to the black market where the only regulation, the only control, is the market, now inflamed by the forbidden fruit effect, making it more wanted, more expensive, and more polluted and lower quality. Orwellian language not withstanding, it's not a controlled substance. And it's not a taxed substance.
Gotta wonder about the incentives. The corruption. Someone's doing better for themselves.
