Laws against stealing, a bankrobber's best friend.
I can't believe you actually make that "argument". Laws against robbing banks does not cause or give incentive to a person to rob the bank. Prohibition laws that artificially inflate the price of the prohibited object is what causes or gives incentive to a person to sell the prohibited item in order to gain artificially inflated profits.

You think.
And while you're at it, "next time, before posting..." try actually reading the post you're responding to.
I never said laws against robbing banks give incentive to rob banks. I said laws against stealing.
Of course if we were free to just take what we want from others, there would be no business for bank robbers.
Laws against stealing which artificially inflate the price of the prohibited object is what causes or gives incentive to a person to rob banks.
The idea that prohibiting some substance means gangsters can profit from illegal sale of it, and therefore those who make it illegal are responsible for the situation is an infantile argument.
Guess we should make murder legal so we don't inflate the profit of being a hit man.
