@@eoincampbell1584 I never really got that kind of argument. We should not treat adults like children by banning drugs, but the gouverment is also responsible to watch out and make sure people don't kill themselfs with drugs?
@@JohnCena8351 If illegal drugs were regulated, more search could be do to know which are the long term effects, safe dose, addiction treatment and more.
Eoin Campbell it gives people less incentive to do those dangerous drugs. This argument goes to ways. The risker it is to do something the less likely people will do it. Human minds are primed to do the easiest thing. So if you can't drink alcohol on the way home from work then your addiction will most likely die.
It's amazing how much of this resonates with cannabis prohibition worldwide. It's not the drug that's the issue, it's how we're controlling it in society. If we learnt anything from alcohol prohibition it's that banning doesn't work, it just creates more problems. Control, regulation and education of a legal market is the safest way forward at the moment.
We live in a society where we have the freedom to poison the lives of ourselves and everyone around us. That made prohibition a failure. No amount of control, regulation and education will take away that freedom.
Yes. But don't forget to make sure it's use is declining in population. Because banning or not, it doesn't change that it's harming population, creates a lot of problems. It's a strategy to achieve the objective of reducing consumption to 0. Those who indulge in it would gladly support legalization too, because they want to freely indulge in their desire. Like banning slavery quickly vs gradually making it difficult to do. All the slavers would happily support this. But that doesn't make slavery any good. Just like indulging in substances would keep on causing the problems regardless of what strategy is used. Legalizing it is not for keeping it perpetually in existence. I hope humans understand this. I always find it so funny when the 1 indulging in it becomes really happy to support this while not realizing that it's still something that needs to be eliminated. Otherwise it'd keep on existing perpetually.
Whenever I take the train in Chicago, there would always be a bottle or two of alcohol just sitting there in the far corners of the station as well as shattered bottles on the rails.
That's why upbringing and education is one of the single most important things in a society. When you spoil children and continue spoiling adults you get huge problems. You can't make people function by setting up walls, you make people function by making them into good people from the beginning. However, the problems of how to upbring people is a huge challenge. Asian countries for example have clear strengths in some fields like diligence but huge weaknesses in others.
Only the drinkable form of alcohol was banned. Wipes and sanitizer uses isopropyl alcohol. That was still legal during prohibition but it will make you go blind or even kill you if you drink it.
@@lestranged Thanks for the comment. Atleast someone is educated here. Lol. Rest of yu guys didn't know the difference between potable and industrial alcohol?! Sanitizers and liquors are fundamentally different chemical compounds! Jesus! Your education system must have been really terribly broken that you don't even remember (/didn't learn) this fundamental stuff from organic chemistry.
Yep. Conscience, self-discipline/regulation is an important feature of how an individual acts. Removing it makes it into mentally declined state. That's why it's better to not have humans drink it. So their self-regulating faculty stays functioning rather than lapsing.
I never thought I would be so impressed by an animation in B/W... But I guess TedEd is always there to surprise me and correct my false beliefs. Hats off, TedEd.
alcohol is the problem. or are you a supporter of conservatism, Marxism with their narrative that the reason why people drink lies in the poverty of people, and their moral poverty?
I'm telling you, this was the most ridiculous law ever. I'm a drinker by the way. I think if husbands (at the time of course) shared whiskey with thier wives back then, rather than heading to the bar after work ( work is hard, I've been working since 16, I'm 45) rather than leaving them home with 6 to 8 kids on thier own, prohibition never would have happened, and neither would have all the crime that followed. Of course I say this, knowing I drink more than my husband, and if it's open in my hand first it's mine🤣 but seriously, I'd rather work a twelve hour day ( and I've worked plenty of them) than be sober at home from dawn till dusk, dealing with a nightmare. Love my children more than my own life, never drank when they were young, but I had 2 and a full time job. Not so easy being at home all day, breaking up fights, trying to figure out meals, handwashing laundry, dealing with everything at home, every day, all the time, without even a bud light? Nah
@@mistyhammond753 Ridiculous? Alcohol is the most dangerous drug practically in existence. It's the most addictive drug known to man, in which excessive alcoholic consumption could cause liver failure, kidney failure, heart failure and respiratory failure. If our blood has more than 20% alcoholic content, then we can be sent into toxic shock. For those reasons alone it should be outlawed.
During the pandemic some countries actually banned the sell of alcohol and tobacco and violent crimes and homicide went way down when they banned it as soon as everything opened up and alcohol is being sold again the crime rate went way up and so did the murders.
I don't only find the comparison to guns, I also find it in Breed Specific Legislation (when certain breeds of dogs are banned). Both are to "stop" the danger from happening, but banning both completely causes dire consequences and does more bad than good.
Nothing to do with religion. Alcoholism was a major problem prior to prohibition. 80% of men were getting drunk on a regular basis and they would legally beat their wives and children. Many many people wanted prohibition even after it ended
Imagine they would have learned from this but nope just a few decades later and the US pushed drug prohibition around the world. Sure banning other drugs will totally not have the exact same effect... It doesnt solve addiction, people still take drugs and most importantly its amazingly lucrative for organised crime. Their best source of income in fact

This is basically the trade of illicit drugs for the past 30 years, but it’s in the 1920-1930s and way more insane.
Yep, banning any kind of drug just creates illegal trade and more danger instead of actually helping the people negatively affected by it.
@@eoincampbell1584 I never really got that kind of argument. We should not treat adults like children by banning drugs, but the gouverment is also responsible to watch out and make sure people don't kill themselfs with drugs?
@@JohnCena8351 It's either that with potentially everybody saved or illegal underground operations to continue and people die. Which do you prefer?

That's how we do it here in Canada. Recreation marijuana has been legal since 2018. We're the second country in the world to do so.

Alcoholism is a real problem in a psychological sense.
