prohibition - 3 often capitalized : the forbidding by law of the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcoholic liquors except for medicinal and sacramental purposes
That plural ending means all liquors. You're stating that only certain limitations, or prohibitions as you prefer, are enacted against certain liquors.
Know what Ouzo is? That is a legal limitation as other liquors are still allowed to be manufactured, transported, and sold. It is not prohibition against all liquors.
You're trying to narrowly define the word prohibition according to your desires.

So by your own "reasoning" (chuckle), since aspirin is legal a prohibition against pot isn't a prohibition.

You've shoved your foot so far down your throat that you should be able to wipe your shoe.
