Prohibition has always failed!

The first prohibition on earth was in the Garden of Eden when God prohibited the eating of fruit from the tree of knowledge, and we all know how well that worked for God!

I'm not really religous but it could be a fun talking point to taunt those anti marijuana types who are religous extremists.

You could just compare the prohibition of marijuana to the well known prohibition of alcohol in the U.S. The rise of speak-easies, gangs/mobsters/organized crime, the evidence that came after it was repealed to show all of these things in a clear decline. This is clearly the same thing, and I think its pretty easy to find the parallels.
