My father, who grew up though prohibition, said he never saw a drunken man in the street until prohibition was repealed. And he grew up in the major city on an Indian Reservation!

All the problems you mention with weed apply to booze and probably by a factor of 10 or more. But in the end, repeal had to be done because enforcement was simply unsustainable.

trying to stop people from being happy is a losing proposition and violates a principle right as Jefferson outlined in the declaration.
