The Steamboat Today, 27 Oct 2012 – In 1932, Colorado voters passed a constitutional amendment to overturn the failed experiment of alcohol prohibition. This fall, Colorado voters will vote on a similar amendment which will end the similarly irrational policy of adult marijuana prohibition. The similarities between alcohol prohibition and marijuana prohibition are striking: Both policies were devised to control the behavior of adults, but neither reduced consumption of marijuana nor alcohol. In both cases, prohibition has enriched cartels, empowered gangs and made criminals out of otherwise law-abiding adults.
