Happy Birthday 21st Amendment
September 23rd, 2008 by Perry
The good people of the Marijuana Policy Project point out some interesting irony on the 75th anniversary of the end of prohibition. While they passed an amendment to commemorate the successful regulation of alcohol since its decriminalization, no such motion was ever suggested for marijuana.
Additionally, even though many representatives don’t have strong opinions against weed, they are forced to push for criminalizing offenses because they do not want to be labeled soft on crime or advocating illegal drug use. Hopefully it won’t be 75 years before we’re laughing about a time where you used to be thrown in the slammer for some ganja.
