"No response cited any study that showed the benefits of drug prohibition (Ostrowski 2).

I know a family where the parents don't drink and visitors don't drink. The children don't use or abuse illegal substances either.

If you prohibited this family (by law) from using and abusing, there would probably be no significant reduction in irresponsible or criminal behavior associated with intoxication.

Did I help prove your point.

I have spoken to plenty of people who admit they got into trouble due to excesses while they were loaded. Do ya spose if they were prohibited from using it would make a difference?

How about you just stop blaming the govt and other enabling behavior and hold people more personally accountable. Well, then we wouldn't need laws I guess. You must secretly like police states.
