the "wet" states smuggled booze to the "dry" states. So, at the request of the states, Congress passed the Webb-Kenyon Act making that smuggling illegal. That didn't work either.As I've pointed out to you, according to President Nixon's National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse, "The lack of federal enforcement rendered the statute [the Webb-Kenyon Act] virtually meaningless."
