Yeah, I think people forget in these discussions how costs work. Making drug / alcohol / pornography usage illegal increases the costs involved, and these cost increases will reduce demand for at least some consumers.

For example, I can't smoke weed because then I can't get Adderall. That's a kind of local prohibition. I could go to the black market for both weed and Adderall but I'm not going to do that, so prohibition has worked here.
