These communities impose the bans themselves. It’s not imposed on them by anybody else.
I certainly did not say it was.
I simply said that the prohibitive approach is as is plainly obvious doomed to failure.
Prohibition in this country was a choice made by the people of the United States at large and was a catastrophic failure that reverberates through this country to this day.
Prohibition can not work as I said before because people can and will find paths to that which they desire. I don’t care what obstacles you put in the way or punishments you inflict, people will get what they want.
And there will be unintended consequences. People will be poisoned by either their own moonshine or that which they buy on the black market. If they can’t get alcohol they will get more dangerous drugs.
There is no upside to prohibition.
