Welcome to the Book of Failed Prohibitions.

Almost always, prohibitions are knee-jerk reactions to something unpleasant. However, sometimes the prohibitions cause significantly worse unintended consequences.

In any case, this collection of pages will outline various prohibitions and their failures. However, hope springs up eternally, so you will also find suggestions to get at the root of the real problems.

Currently, most of this site is dedicated to eradicating Drug Prohibition but as events happen, and as history is uncovered, more failed prohibitions may come to light.
