Did anyone actually believe such a prediction? 

All drugs should be legal. Aside from the obvious absurdity of legislating
what substances you can ingest, it's caused incarceration in America, already barbaric, 
to rise to the highest per capita rate in the whole fucking world. America imprisons 
like ~750 people per 100k, way the fuck above even the countries we constantly
accuse, hypocritically, of human rights violations.

And of course the black market demand creates enormous profits, and
brings enormous violence. Just like alcohol prohibition made the mafia big fucking
business. 

The "war on drugs" is one of the nastiest long cons on the American people I 
can think of. Its a great excuse for a police state, a gulag, and made a whole
new class of ultra-violent "narcotrafficante" that is a nice boogey man to 
the south, and who cares really - their violence is mostly south of the border, 
fuck em!  Can't build the wall fast enough! It's a bad fucking joke.
