    no.

    if you just loook at the maps you;ll find the surprising fact that in everywhere where alcohols and alcoholated drinks are cheap and readily available lies them first, and developed countries

    while in every fucking where where alcohols and alcoholated drinks are taxed excessively or verboten outright, lies the 3rd world shit and hell hole countries.

    in tl;dr,

    alcohol begets progresses.

    progresses and alcohols are the coupling of the ages.

    Show me one example where prohibition works and people don't use drugs and are thus safer. As far as I'm concerned, all drug prohibition does is put a product into the hands of people who in any legal circumstances would not be permitted to conduct business. It's why opioid overdoses are up 500% in the last 10 years.

    A government should first and foremost try to keep people safe. There is literally no possible way to both ban drugs and keep people safe from them. People need education and resources so they don't overdose, or develop an abscess, or contract HIV, or end up with heart problems or issues from neurotoxicity.

    I've yet to see a program that can do these things under prohibition, but I have seen success with these things in cases where prohibition is more or less lifted. Like Denmark's heroin program or the various needle exchanges/shooting galleries that are gaining popularity here in the states. Regulation and education is a good thing.
    The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

    The criterion for substance bans being effective is not that no one abuses said substance, it's that public harm caused by that substance is reduced.

    If I pointed out an example of a political region that had very strict anti-drug laws and comparatively very low rates of drug use, abuse, disease or death would that satisfy what you're asking for here?

    Yeah alcohol is a pretty stupid drug. I pick weed and psychs any day. The only reason why I'm boozing at the moment is because my plug is in Miami and I'm all out of weed.

    You are DENSE. Re-read.

    Show me one example where prohibition works and people don't use drugs and are thus safer.

    I went into detail explaining the importance of safety. That's what this is all about. Yet you come out with lines like that, essentially saying "No!" but parroting what I said anyway.

    You want to compare regions to what exactly? And which regions? Because drug use still flourishes in areas where they are hard on drug use. Not that it matters, because the standard we need to be comparing to here is a regulated/legal drug market. Comparing different countries opens up a wealth of differences, like how in Asia they are more fond of amphetamines than opiates, which obviously lowers the number of overdoses but brings up the issue of heart problems related to amphetamine use, which more than likely aren't reported on. Not that the numbers would be reliable either since so many in Asia are impoverished and can't doctor up so easily.

    If we look at say, alcohol prohibition in America (same place, same substance) you can see that there were major health issues brought on by unregulated alcohol. Methanol and all that. Countries today where alcohol is illegal (like Muslim countries) benefit greatly from importing alcohol from countries which do have a regulated alcohol market. If you look at China, they have a massive counterfeit alcohol market and people regularly die because of it.

    And prohibition doesn't work, specially when it's a drug like marijuana or mushrooms or alcohol. People have been making booze since the dawn of man. Any retard can make booze in their bathtub. It's not a difficult process. Sure some might fuck up and go blind but that's a risk people will take. All prohibition does is create shitty black markets and homebrews.

    The way you delete a social ill is through education, taxation and competition. Plus, you defeat a good with superior competition. If the jedinited States of jedimerica legalized weed, with low taxes, and then reasonably taxed booze, I guaran-fucking-tee alcohol use, DUI accidents etc would drop like a rock. Ever driven high? It's hard to drive safe. Ever driven drunk? Shit's fucking legit impossible to do safely. And it only gets harder.

    OPPOSITION TO THE USE OF PEYOTEby the Aztecs was strong among the Spanish conquerors. One
    early Spanish church document likened the eating of peyote to cannibalism. Upset by the religious hold
    that peyote had on the Indians, the Spanish tried, with great vigor but little success, to stamp out its use.
    By 1720, the eating of peyote was prohibited throughout Mexico. But despite four centuries of civil and
    ecclesiastical persecution, the use and importance of peyote have spread beyond its early limited
    confines. Today it is so strongly anchored in native lore that even Christianized Indians believe that a
    patron saint—El Santo Niño de Peyotl—walks on the hills where peyote grows.
    There is continuing opposition in certain religious organizations in the United States to the Indians' use
    of peyote as a ceremonial sacrament. Nevertheless, the federal government has never seriously
    questioned or interfered with the practice since it is essentially a religious one. Those tribes living far from
    sources of peyote—some as far north as Canada—can legally import mescal buttons by mail. Despite
    constitutional guarantees separating church and state, however, a few states have enforced repressive
    laws against even the religious use of peyote

    SPANISH OPPOSITIONto the Aztecs' worship of pagan deities with the sacramental aid of mushrooms
    was strong. Although the Spanish conquerors of Mexico hated and attacked the religious use of all
    hallucinogens - peyote, ololiuqui, toloache, and others - teonanocatl was the target of special wrath. Their
    religious fanaticism was drawn especially toward this despised and feared form of plant life that, through
    its vision-giving powers, held the Indian in awe, allowing him to commune directly with his gods. The new
    religion, Christianity, had nothing so attractive to offer him. Trying to stamp out the use of the
    mushrooms, the Spaniards succeeded only in driving the custom into the hinterlands, where it persists
    today. Not only did it persist, but the ritual adopted many Christian aspects, and the modern ritual is a
    pagan-Christian blend.

    Let's take Portugal as an example of a industrialized country with relatively liberal drug laws. Drug use is decriminalized and the state generally treats use as a public health issue. Harm reduction often hold it up as an early example of how more liberal drug laws save lives.

    Let's say there's another, industrialized, country with much stricter drug laws and in this country drug use is very uncommon and rates of disease and death from abuse of drugs is far lower than Portugal.

    Wouldn't this seem to contradict the idea that strict drug policy is wholly ineffective in reducing social harm as a result of abusing drugs?
