Prohibition refers to the legal ban on the production, distribution, and consumption of certain substances, typically alcohol or drugs. Its enforcement involves policies and regulations, police monitoring and raids, penalties for violators, and public awareness campaigns. Prohibition aims to decrease the availability and use of the banned substances in an effort to reduce associated social, health, and economic harms.
The alcohol prohibition experiment proved to be unsatisfactory because it led to a rise in illegal activities such as bootlegging and speakeasies.
