The Eighteenth Amendment - 2nd worst Amendment

Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.
Section 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

What were these people thinking??? Look I'm about as conservative right-wing fundamentalist christian as a 25 year old can get, and I see absolutely no reason to ever consider banning alcohol. But in a way, I'm pretty relieved, taking the liberal side of an amendment makes it a lot easier to find videos.

 
Yes, I actually think this makes a point. When people are just forced into not having a substance they have grown accustomed to, they go crazy. Trust me, I have given up smoking, felt a lot like Homer there for a while. However I was quitting for my wife and for my family, if it was some ugly woman and a bunch of idiots in the government telling me to quit I would have been to the nearest smoke-easy for a 50 dollar pack of reds.
"Well Mr. Conservative, if you're so against prohibition, why are you against marijuana." I'm not. I've never touched the stuff, I think it makes you stupid, but it should be legal. Harder drugs should not be legal because they are unquestionably and extremely harmful to the addicts that use them.
