We're probably all familiar with the failed attempt at alcohol prohibition in the history books of the USA, but is it any more effective now than it was back then?
Prohibition in the 1920s led to a huge increase in organised crime as gangs attempted to circumvent the law, but is it really any different to any prohibited substance now? Organised crime distributes illegal substances for profit, the police and other law enforcement agencies spend huge amounts of time and money trying to stop them, so is it time we looked for an alternative solution to prohibition?
