LemSkroob: Yes, prohibition may have end, but the Militarized and greatly expanded police force that was created because of it, just keeps on going.

There's nothing wrong with lots of cops.

dittybopper: unremarkable asterisk: Impasse: I wonder what their web page looked like in the 1920s...

It was in black and white.


Yeah, but it was read all over.

_{I see what you did there}

You must not be a black man. Because it makes the black man lust after white women. Would love to make it legal, but we can't be having that goin' on, ya hear?

No no, it's because mj slows down their(blacks,mexicans) brain so they can play the devil's 'jazz' music, in order to woo white women away from their husbands

/yes, that was the argument they used to get it banned in the first place

I think it's much simpler. Politicians and people who tend to vote like to drink... just like everyone since like the middle ages. They also tend to want to protect the children, and they have to keep that evil weed illegal for the soccer moms in their district.

People who tend not to vote or be politicians like the other stuff... hence, there's nothing to be gained in legalizing the other stuff.

It's one of the reasons you'll never see tobacco illegal. Politicians smoke.

This day in history: Prohibition ends. Raise a glass in celebration

You can be sure of it.

/as good an excuse as any I would normally use.

/alcohol is one of the worst substances you can put into your body
//it will be the downfall of the Republic

actually, the Romans proved that the downfall of the Republic was stretching its military powers too far to run efficiently, and allowing too many foreign populations to become Roman Citizens who don't hold any real interest in the fate of Rome itself.

/Good thing that kind of thing doesn't happen now.
// Oops, nevermind

/That is all

Cheers!

If only we could have learned from this experience 50 years ago that prohibition does not work, then we could have saved so much money that has been, is being, and will be wasted on the war on drugs.

Hey, subby, Gimme an I.c. LITE

It is also PTW16's birthday. Coincidence? I think not!

This is the contact page for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the people largely responsible for bringing about Prohibition. Yes, even I had thought they were relegated to the dustbin of history, until I stumbled upon their website a few years ago.

Feel free to send the appropriate "Ha Ha! You lost!" messages to them on this fine day.

They are still around, holy crap, my great-grandmother was a member and marched several time for prohibition. This weekends first round at the bar, I'm dedicating it to them and their epic fail.

They used to make Olde Frothingshosh Pale Stale Ale.
Guaranteed to fit any size glass.

Marijuana could have prevented the war in Iraq.

Load a bowl and pass to the left, Mr. President.

Have a Drunken Repeal Day! Fruity, colorful shots for everyone!

what state's ratification of 21st amendment completed this important milestone in our nation's history?

UTAH!

The War on Drugs wasnt started to stop people from doing drugs. It was started as a way to arrest the kinds of people that might take drugs.

There is a VERY good reason why The Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 was created at the height of the Vietnam war protest demonstrations.

I'll drink to that!

For all you beer drinking lightweights, this is what I'll be quaffing for the occasion:



Cheers!

/Vive la fee' verte!

I shall celebrate tonight with this:

dittybopper: This is the contact page for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the people largely responsible for bringing about Prohibition.

They were an offshoot of the Christian Union for National Temperance, and had a version for men, Dedicated Individuals Concerned with Keeping Sober.

I'm a member of the Anti-Saloon League, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

Yes, I believe I will (once I get home from work tonight).



/Proust!

I will tip one back tonight for sure.

Read their section on marijuana, it's a riot. I made sure to tell them so after wishing them a very happy Repeal Day.

Oh I love the alcohol threads! Gives me an excuse to drink, not that I need an excuse to drink!

Cheers!

damn, I meant to submit a article about this this morning but forgot. anyway here is a 90sec video (pops) a couple of my friends did on the subject.

//ok a little extremem in the message at the end
///hey we're libertarians, whadda want?

oh, and god bless the 21st amendment

Prohibition is almost fully back here in BC. Thanks to MADD and some stupid politicians.

ThisOneBelongsToTheReds: Read their section on marijuana, it's a riot. I made sure to tell them so after wishing them a very happy Repeal Day.

Wow. Just... wow. It's like a compendium of all the pot myths from the last half century in one place. I honestly expected to see them state that it makes black men rape white women, too.

I'm way ahead of you, subby.

Subby isn't a cheapskate. Subby drinks many different beers. Subby likes Penn Pilsner. Subby like Grolsch. Subby likes Budweiser. Subby likes just about anything with alcohol in it. Please note that that statement means all Coors products are excluded.

dittybopper: My grandfather, as a teenager, helped to dig graves during the 1919 Flu pandemic.

My godfather and his dad used to make homemade wine under prohibition. Some how... the weekly trucks of grapes, and the trash filled with everything but the juice, never set off any bells with the local authorities...

I will salute the Coors factory when I drive by it on the way home tonight.


/lol - Coors Malted Milk!

THANKS, UTAH!!!

Then don't put it in your body. However it does come in conveniently sized glass bottles for smacking over the head people who tell me not to put it in mine.

Daniels: It's one of the reasons you'll never see tobacco illegal. Politicians smoke.

And it's a personal choice whether I want to degrade my health in that manner.

/ I do. I drive too fast to worry about cancer.

I don't drink.

/Weed...still illegal.
