Alcohol Prohibition Quotes

Alcohol didn’t cause the high crime rates of the 20s and 30s, Prohibition did. And drugs do not cause today’s alarming crime rates, but drug prohibition does Picture Quote #1

The lesson has already been learned with alcohol prohibition. We tried to engineer an alcohol-free society and ended up with huge criminal enterprises, government corruption, children lured into organized crime and random violence that took the lives of countless innocent people Picture Quote #1

There’d never been a more advantageous time to be a criminal in America than during the 13 years of Prohibition. At a stroke, the American government closed down the fifth largest industry in the United States - alcohol production - and just handed it to criminals - a pretty remarkable thing to do Picture Quote #1

The war on drugs is identical to the prohibition of alcohol: all you’re doing is making criminals rich and powerful Picture Quote #1

[As in the case of] alcohol prohibition, illegality has driven organized crime, sent countless people to jail, and killed many thousands. Repression does not work Picture Quote #1

When Prohibition was first enacted in 1920, most people stockpiled alcohol, thinking they’d have enough to last them for years. By 1923, that was starting to run out, so your average person started to rely more and more on criminals Picture Quote #1

Just as the process of repealing national alcohol prohibition began with individual states repealing their own prohibition laws, so individual states must now take the initiative with respect to repealing marijuana prohibition laws Picture Quote #1

When we finally decide that drug prohibition has been no more successful than alcohol prohibition, the drug dealers will disappear Picture Quote #1
