ALCOHOL PROHIBITION AND THE GREAT DEPRESSION
I CANNOT help thinking that maybe it might help if you were to point out to
the anti-drug warriors that it probably was not a coincidence that the great
stock market crash of 1929 happened during the years of alcohol prohibition
(1919-33) and that the Great Depression may not have been cured by the new
deal but was more likely alleviated by the repeal of prohibition. "The worst
may be yet to come."

(An interesting theory but highly unlikely.)
