Yes, history showed that prohibition of alcohol was a failure. But legalization of alcohol _also_ has become a failure: with the endemic proliferation of "alcopops", wide-spread binge-drinking from young age on, etc. ... Smoking is also increasing among youth, and the drugs are also being sold to minors. Obviously, it would be necessary to address the roots of the problem -- the factors that drive people to addiction (to which substance, is of less importance). Keyword neurotransmitters... As with Basic Income (btw it's interesting to see the overlap between drug proponents and BI proponents on this list), the goal should be to _minimize_ the number of "crutch" recipients, instead of maximizing it! What a sad future (a society of limpers, or worse) it would be if the crutch became the rule rather than the exception. Btw, the soaring problems with alcoholism in Sweden --since the EU forced down Sweden's traditionally high alcohol prices-- are yet another illustration for the idiocy of Free Trade and anything that comes close to it.
