"The higher the price of the object, the less the demand."

Increasing the price of something doesn't decrease demand, it only decreases the quantity demanded. The demand itself is still there.

"That said prohibition moved the problem to smuggling and organized crime proved more unacceptable than cirrhosis and simple intoxication resulted in said prohibition's repeal"

This viewpoint is the conventional wisdom about the history of the 18th Amendment. However, this common view point does not fit the facts. Through most of the period of prohibition there was very little political support for ending prohibition.

Prior to the passing of the federal income taxes, almost one third of federal revenue came from excise taxes on alchohol. That is why the federal government never passed any prohibition measure.

Once the federal income tax was enacted, the federal government was able to pass prohibition because it no longer needed the revenues.

However, this changed in 1930 when the Great Depression overcame the economy. The added federal tax revenues easily overcame any moralistic or public health argument in favor of prohibition.

Here is an article that outlines this very factual argument.

FYI,

It wasn't that long ago "illegal" drugs were all legal. Prohibition, like the War On Poverty, exacerbates the problems of drug use or "poverty", primarily by adding new problems to the mix. I believe there is an apocryphal saying attributed to Abraham Lincoln about conflating vices with crimes. Legalization, with reasonable penalties for disorderly conduct while intoxicated, is a means of focusing on the true problems associated with *public* intoxication. BTW, the only proper prohibition law the US ever had was the alcohol prohibition. That said prohibition moved the problem to smuggling and organized crime proved more unacceptable than cirrhosis and simple intoxication resulted in said prohibition's repeal. Please keep the rules of pharmacology and toxicology in mind. For *every* chemical there is a dose and route of administration that is reasonably safe; and there is a dose and route of administration that is fatal.

That said, as long as we have drug laws, they must be enforced.
