      Yup, I know. Actually, when they did this with cigarettes they did see it go down a little with adults but the main thing was that it helped reduce youth smoking. Teens have a tighter budget for these things.

      But the bootlegging is unique to booze, so yeah.

      But non-alcoholics might start looking to thc instead. This could hit booze corporations with a double whammy of a hard hit to their bottom line while forcing a lot of their customers to seek alternative adulterants.
