> If people react to the end of drug prohibition the same way they reacted to the end of alcohol prohibition, the whole country will be strung out in weeks if we legalize the stuff.

None of the drugs currently prohibited were as popular before being prohibited as alcohol was before it was prohibited, so I don't see any reason to expect that they would be as popular after prohibition as alcohol was.

Heck, none of them are as popular while prohibited as alcohol was while it was prohibited.

Not that I think your statement correctly presents the response to the end of alcohol prohibition, either.
