Prohibition in the USA has been going for how long? The more popular drugs were legalized and regulated but we are also learning these prohibited drugs may have historical, cultural, and more importantly medicinal factors. Which after elimination may leave a deficit the legal drugs cannot fill. Imagine cavemen who wondered the forest eating whatever they could. They see berry bush and they eat them all. Mmmm sugar, wonderful addictive legal drug. Then they walk further and eat mushrooms which make you happy. Even cannabis is a standard, we have cannaboid receptors built into us. Now withdraw access to what's built into us. Guess what, you end up seeking what makes you happy. You eat foods full of sugar to make you happy but you kind of overdo it. Your nation is now 80% overweight and 30% obese. Which comes with lots of consequences.
