It's the other way around, isn't it? If you have a culture in which people don't participate in recreational drug use then you don't need prohibition because you don't need a law to prevent people from doing things they don't want to do.
Sometimes I think institutions are killing us. We used to need each other. Now everything is a commodity except for the things you can only get from a bureaucracy. You want to have a personality but that's against policy. Diversity is exalted and prohibited.
People want to feel something real but you're expected to kneel before a book of rules made by fools. So they settle for something chemical.
But the prohibition is the problem. It's an example of how we remove choice to keep people in their box. One more form of experimentation locked behind a wall of paper.
You can't add a third floor to your house to make room for a new business, that's not allowed here. You can't install an app you wrote on your mate's phone, it has to be approved by someone they trust less than they trust you. You can't choose what to put into your own body, what if something bad happens?
What if something good happens? What if something good not happening is something bad?
