    Not only that, but banning alcohol made it more dangerous because moonshiners and bootleggers resorted to making more and more potent alcohol for transport discretely. The same thing is happening with opioids now. The rise in fentanyl is precisely because it’s more potent so it gets concentrated and easier to smuggle and then dilute/cut at its destination, but then of course people start doing the uncut/pure stuff and die.
