Ask them if the failure of alcohol prohibition provides any insight into the efficacy of drug prohibition. Many people oppose our drug laws because they are an abuse of our God-given right as free adults to ingest whatever substance we want, they are totally ineffective and they cause more harm to users and non-users alike than leaving the users alone.
