Prohibition failed miserably once before in this country... the only lasting effect of it was to give us organized crime.

Why anyone in their right mind would expect the same thing to succeed is beyond all logic.

Its akin to those who keep trying socialism over and over again and again, thinking this time it’ll be different.

Prohibition failed miserably once before in this country...

The relationship between thousands of years of Western Civilization and beer and wine, and liqueurs and Scotch, is entirely different from the Black/Hispanic/Hippie/Addict, drug use that popped up in the last 60 years among some lower class Americans.

One is a fundamental part of Western culture, entertainment, socializing, health, and daily life and dining, and the other is getting stoned and zoning on the couch, like they do in places like the Arab world and the exotic and bizarre East.

Trying to erase alcohol in the West, is even much worse and more impossible than it would be to take away cannabis, among the cannibis based peoples, like the Arabs.
