Prohibition worked. It had the annoying unintended consequence is some people ignored it and became criminals, but alcohol consumption clearly dropped when it was in effect.
And yet the illegal alcohol market boomed and it gave massive rise to organized crime and government corruption to allow it. It doesn’t “work” in any practical sense, it just concentrates the problem and makes it even harder to control.
Okay, real question, if prohibition on drugs doesn’t matter, why all the hubbub about states legalizing weed years back? “Prohibition doesn’t work, anyway,” so who cares?

It completely works if you ignore all of the times it didn’t work.
It only didn’t work if you demand absolute perfection, which is unreasonable. I’m going to stand by it worked.
I already addressed the unintended consequences.
Just like the “War On Drugs” worked; Drugs won!
