Utah is a somewhat oddball case to cite as evidence around prohibition. They are 60+% Mormon, with a strong religious directive not to drink.



Right, and my point was that it was the people that were responsible for the violence, not prohibition.

After all, marijuana was technically subject to prohibition until quite recently, and yet the very lucrative pot market was not marred by violence.


Theres been plenty of violence due to marijuana prohibition! Never mind all the human misery from incarseration.
