| Abstract: | It is common to compare contemporary legal prohibitions against drugs with the prohibition against alcohol in the 1930s. Making
this analogy presumes similarities between the two prohibitions which have policy implicatioas for the current legal response
to drugs. This study focuses on one drug, marijuana. Moonshiners of the 1930s are compared with contemporary domestic marijuana
cultivators, the effects of alcohol prohibition are compared with the effects of prohibiting marijuana, and issues relevant
to current marijuana policies are examined. |
