Ending the era of Prohibition will not mean kids will start smoking

this dark era of Prohibition will mean that the greatest illicit

And will kids smoke opimum too (it was legal in China at the time of
the opimum trade)? I saw a professor of medicine on TV saying that
opium is the least damaging recreational drug. What about whiskey
(kids already drink too)? Heroin? Cocaine?
All studies show that once a drug is illegal, it becomes much more
available and consumed. Always, everywhere, for any drug. It is normal
because when a drug is illegal, you create a market allowing a product
to be sold without any control (nor on price, nor on quality), and you
make possible the street advertizing which target the kids.
Prohibition might look reasonable, but it has always been at the start
a technic to sell much more drugs.
This admits that very simple explanation above, but it is confirmed.
In the US cannabis has been very severely repressed, and it is the
country where the local people smoke the most (with Canada and
France). In The Netherlands, cannabis is tolerated, and it is the
country where cannabis is smoked the less (by the inhabitants).
We must legalize cannabis, because the danger of cannabis has been
scientifically debunked since 70 years.
We must legalize even more the dangerous drug, because their
illegality makes them much dangerous, much more available to anyone
(including kids) etc.
But we must legalize all drugs to just come back to the possibility of
some sense in politics, and get rid of the criminals and liars.
Opium was legal in China, but has become a weapon by coercion, then
the prohibition of it has aggravated the situation.
Like tobacco in Turkey, drugs can be used by manipulators to destroy a
country. Some americans have used alcohol against some Indian
populations in a similar way.
