This does not follow. Banning intoxicant augments the intoxicant
consumption, and so, if that is bad, it leads to the contrary
effect than the one desired.
Even if it suppresses the consumption of something that is bad for
you (e.g. tobacco smoking) the actions necessary for suppression:
searches, police surveillance, fines, imprisonment - may be worse
than the effects of consumption.
Yes. cannabis prohibition has destroyed much life than cannabis would
ever did if it could have been remained legal.
