    Wrong. Prohibition increases demand.

    Edit: Based off some replies, I think a lot of people are forgetting some rudimentary aspects of the concept of “demand”, so allow me to help:

    Demand is an economic concept that relates to a consumer’s desire to purchase goods and services and willingness to pay a specific price for them.

    When supply decreases, the price of the good increases. Inversely, when the supply of the good increases, the price falls

            “That guy happened to tangentially mention tax so you must’ve been talking about tax, herp derp”

            Edit: Is it really that hard to figure out that I started this whole thread in reference to the topic of prohibition as the title suggests? I’m not talking about taxes. I never mentioned taxes. I don’t care that anyone else is talking about taxes.
