And I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on this looking up all the numbers again, because this is just a discussion on a message board. I've seen the numbers in the past though, showing how each time red bull got approved somewhere and was introduced into a market, it immediately sold loads and loads - for a large part because the earlier "not being legal" created a buzz.

Believe me or not, I advise you to check it out yourself, but I can't force you to accept reality.
Meanwhile, ask yourself if Red Bull would be able to have a $4BN yearly sales volume if it wasn't being sold in supermarkets, bars, etc.
Oh, and it might also be a good idea to think about drug sales on specific drugs after they get approved by the FDA

The second does not necessarily follow, because every prohibition in history was not followed by increased usage upon legalization.
So you do not think better distribution and better availability help increase sales? How about lower prices then?

I know that if I'm not able to get something or if I'm not able to afford it, I'm not likely to buy it... but maybe that's just me.
