How to use "Prohibits" in context?
The prohibition of drugs is a global issue that dates back to the 1920s. It was during this time that the international community agreed to try and prohibit certain drugs from being manufactured and traded. The prohibition of drugs was largely motivated by the fear of addiction and the potential for drug abuse.
Today, the prohibition of drugs is widely considered to have been a failure. Drug addiction continues to be a major problem, and illegal drug trades continue to generate huge profits. The prohibition of drugs has also led to a number of human rights abuses. Governments have routinely used drug prohibition to clamp down on civil liberties, and to suppress political opposition.
