Prohibition was stupid, plain and simple. But before prohibition there was a legal structure of manufacturers, suppliers and merchants. When the amendment was repealed, it was easy to restart that machine (which never really stopped anyway).

As far as I can recall, there haven't been any legal shooting galleries (I'm not talking Frontierland) or crack houses ever in the US, so the parallel to prohibition doesn't exactly work for me. As a voter, I'd need to know what the plan was before I cast my ballot...
