By forcing producers underground rather than regulating their wares, WOD in practice pushed markets towards the worst possible products and the most harmful situations. We have entire bureaucracies dedicated to ensuring the food you eat is not harmful to you, balancing the profit motive with considerations regarding public health (which become more and more precise as science advances); imagine if all that was taken away - how many people would die or suffer from terrible food, even more than they do now? This is what the drug market has been like for more than 40 years. People got damaged by shit product devised by criminals to maximize their profit. And that's the WOD's fault, entirely.
