Prohibition was a grand failure at resisting evil. It called so much attention to alcoholic beverages and engendered so much rebellion against legal constraints that when it was repealed, far more alcohol was being consumed than before prohibition went into effect. Now we are repeating the same folly by our "war" on narcotics, which simply makes it the "forbidden fruit," drives up the market price, turns it into a business far more lucrative than any alternative form of employment, leads to the recruitment of children as sellers, lookouts, and deliverers, prompts gang wars over turf and mindless murders and robberies to obtain cash to buy the coveted drugs.
