Add it to the miles long list of times that prohibition has failed. You'd think that with all the time they spend coming up with laws, lawmakers would take 10 minutes to look at how well similar laws have done elsewhere.
But that'd require research and real critical thought, which seems to be sorely lacking among those who seek power.
