It annoys me that most libertarians simultaneously that supply and demand curves are real (people consume less of something if costs more) and that banning things doesn't work. So...raising the cost of X (in both dollars and expected jail time) doesn't decrease consumption? https://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1080978829588324352 …
Yes it does. It adds (punishment x chance of getting caught) to the price.
