Suggest Revision: Federal and state laws should be changed to no longer make it a crime to possess marijuana for private use.
 
 Thomas L Masson quotes 
Suggest Revision: Prohibition may be a disputed theory, but none can say that it doesn't hold water.
 
 Rutherford Birchard Hayes quotes 
Suggest Revision: No political party can ever make prohibition effective. A political party implies an adverse, an opposing, political party. To enf orce criminal statutes implies substantial unanimity in the community. This is the result of the jury system. Hence the futility of party prohibition.
 
 Herbert Hoover quotes 
Suggest Revision: Our country has deliberately undertaken a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far- reaching in purpose.
 
 Abraham Lincoln quotes 
Suggest Revision: Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond t he bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.
 
 Abraham Lincoln quotes 
Suggest Revision: Whether or not the world would be vastly benefited by a total banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks seems not now an open question. Three-fourths of mankind confess the affirmative with their tongues, and I believe all the rest acknowledge it in their hearts.
 
 Florence Sabin quotes 
Suggest Revision: The prohibition law, written for weaklings and derelicts, has divided the nation, like Gaul, into three parts...wets, drys, and hypocrites.
 
 Franklin P Adams quotes 
Suggest Revision: Prohibition is an awful flop. We like it. It can't stop what it's meant to stop. We like it. It's left a trail of graft and slime, It don't prohibit worth a dime, It's filled our land with vice and crime. Nevertheless, we're for it.
 
 Michel De Montaigne quotes 
Suggest Revision: To forbid us anything is to make us have a mind for it.
 
 Will Rogers quotes 
Suggest Revision: Prohibition is better than no liquor at all.

Prohibition refers to a halt or stoppage on the production, transport, import and export of alcohol and other alcoholic beverages. The term also implies the specific duration in the history of countries during which prohibition of alcohol was enforced. Prohibition was enforced more strictly in Islamic countries since consumption of liquor and intoxicating drinks is considered as a sin in Islamic countries. Prohibition is necessary to keep alcohol consumption and alcohol consumers in check or restrain. Drug prohibition means a ban on the consumption, use, manufacture and sales of drugs. In the words of Michael Badnarik, “Drug prohibition has caused gang warfare and other violent crimes by raising the prices of drugs so much that vicious criminals enter the market to make astronomical profits, and addicts rob and steal to get money to pay the inflated prices for their drugs.”
