The Prohibition is still incredibly relevant when you take the time to think about it. Primarily, few realize how much influence the short period of America's history had on the this country. From the only repelled Constitutional Amendment to the rise of Walgreens, the US wouldn't be the same with out the Prohibition period. It's relevant to the decriminalization of marijuana discussion that's taking place, and to Gay New York, and to living on a dry campus. I'm not going to spell out my stances on these three relationships in this blog today, (maybe someday soon though) but I do think that this time period that is to oft overlooked as just a "We made a mistake" period isn't credited for how influential it was, or how it remains relevant today.
