You can drink beer now!
The 21st Amendment:
- Only Amendment to repeal a previous (18) Amendment on alcohol prohibition.
- Only Amendment to have been ratified by the method of the state ratifying convention.
- Came about because the organized crime profited most from prohibition.
This image depicts a happy young man with his glass raised seemingly proposing a toast. The sign in the background saying "Good old days are back again!" This image is one that resulted from the ending of the 18th Amendment and the start of the 20th Amendment. I would definitely be happy with the end of prohibition, not only because I could drink, but because the organized crime rings wouldn't be profiting as much.
This image depicts a woman that stands for American mothers and she is voting against prohibition pointing to a sign that describes prohibition basically as a trap or trail towards destruction. With the close of the 18th amendment many questions have arisen with the marijuana policy. Many people believe this drug should be legal in all states and use the 18th amendment as an example of this belief. I myself do think people should have the option to use marijuana however studies have shown it can cause some brain damage. Nevertheless so can alcohol and dehydration, and many people, especially those who can not afford health care, turn to cheaper drugs for pain relief.
