Does prohibition encourage curiosity?

It might be books, music or drugs.

We know from experience that Prohibition of alcohol (the Volstead Act) only led to increased violent crime and more dangerous forms of alcohol on the market. You will not eliminate demand for something by making it illegal.

Strange how President Trump (the man who awarded Rush Limbaugh the Presidential Medal Of Freedom) is so centrist that he wants to remove marijuana from the Schedule 1 drug list. As a Florida resident, he actually voted FOR recreational marijuana when it came up on the referendum.

There's no way I want to be anywhere near anyone who is smoking that foul substance. But if it's legal, the big corporations take over; government regulations prevent it from becoming more dangerous; America gets a new source of tax revenue and the street pushers are taken off the streets.
