If that was what I'd said, I guess I would need to provide some links and give some evidence.

However, what I said was that the illegal profits of drug sellers and of moonshiners and speakeasies during Prohibition were largely fueled by addiction. If drugs and alcohol were not addictive (do I need to provide links to demonstrate that they are?), Prohibition and the War on Drugs might have worked. Or not, again because illegal drugs and booze are so easy to make and smuggle compared to guns.
