And that price would make it so less people could afford them you moronActually the laws of supply and demand work in most scenarios whether heavily controlled by "authority" or not, utopia or dystopia.
For instance if you were in jail, (for stealing oranges) you'd be able to barter your math tutoring skills for a higher price, if a G.E.D. was a requisite to earlier release.
I'm sure you'd agree when desired goods and services are made "illegal" that the result is often a lucrative black market. If you don't believe me dig up Al Capone or ask Pablo Escobar.
If oranges were made illegal, you'd still be able to get some good "sinsemilla citrus" but of course the price would be unnaturally skewed upward as a result of the illegality.
Mission accomplished
