10-03-2011 08:27 PMProhibition - The "Noble Experiment"
It was a stupid move by some well meaning people.
The laws against Marijuana are just and noble and just as stupid!
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

10-05-2011 08:53 AMSome years ago I was going through my grandmother's old photographs after she had passed and found a picture of an old wooden boat with the name "cigar" on the back of it. I asked my mother what the story was behind the boat and she explained that her uncle would take the boat from Ohio to Canada and purchase alcohol and bring it back in the boat. I'm sure they only did it for "personal and medicinal" purposes only. LOL.
I will have to dig out that box and see if I can find that picture!
