I haven't thought about that aspect. That would be a good thing.

I wonder if the alcohol lobby is campaigning against this?

Seems like it

if decriminalized, it will increase user base, which will lead producers to increase supply base.

so A, that is my final answer.

demand also goes up because it would be a lot cheaper.

It could either be A or B. I am not sure about the supply of this drug as it is illegal so I don't know if it will increase or decrease but the demand will surely increase because more people would want to try it seeing as it is legal.

Mass production is mass production. Alcohol supply after 1933 would have far surpassed supply during prohibition.
