Prohibition created profit potential for organized crime. The same happens nowadays e.g. in narcotics.

If the market is open for competition, there’s usually no huge profits to be had. Big pharma, for example, profits from government regulations that act as a barrier for new competitors. I believe that big pharma is making more money and has more control now.

To say that there should be freedom of choice, does not mean that there won’t be problems and that we could not condemn some choices as individuals. And speak the truth.

Freedom comes with a price, but I believe it’s the only sustainable way.
