April 6th is the day known in America as New Beers Eve. Prohibition is a strange concept in this day and age, but on April 6th, 1933, people lined up, waiting to buy their first legal beer on April 7, 1933. I wrote a book titled BEER POUR, a satire that touches on the enormous revenue generated by beer sales in modern times.

Happy New Beers Eve. It's hard to believe that less than 100 years ago, beer was outlawed. On this day in 1933, people lined up in anticipation of buying a legal beer on April 7th. #beer #prohibition #history #days #april #Monday

#Prohibition sustains an unregulated market. When a widely used product remains illegal, production & distribution move beyond regulatory oversight. A legal framework would provide licensing, taxation & quality control, transferring economic power from criminals to the State.

When I'm talking at high level, do not ever think that I include #violence as an #abstraction. It is the very first #prohibition that #God gives. To not take another's life. What the #United #States does is against God and against man and against anything decent. #MissKitty does not have it twisted.

lol, the worst thing about this Crispin Blunt story is that he's fucking right!

#CrispinBlunt #Drugs #Prohibition #UKPol #UKPolitics

In a 30-minute speech to the court, Blunt criticised the decision to charge him and suggested all drugs should be legal.

Ugh, not quite 'the worst man I know' but still not great when a Tory makes a salient point....

Colombia’s President Says We Are Heading Toward ‘Extinction’ In an exclusive interview with POLITICO, the outgoing Colombian president argues the war on drugs has failed and fires back at Donald Trump.

The 2 largest spikes in crime occurred during alcohol prohibition, & when Nixon placed cannabis in Schedule I after Supreme Court ruled the Marijuana Tax Act unconstitutional.

The $50B/yr on the drug war could be used improving the mental & physical health of its citizens.
