With the ratification of the 18th Amendment on January 17th, 1920, Prohibition went into effect throughout America. So began what's since become known as the greatest failed social experiment in this country's history. Drinking levels doubled (tripled even), crime rose to astronomical heights, and the general feeling of lawlessness that ensued was only rivaled by that of the Wild West some forty or fifty years prior. Join me for the exciting conclusion on the "intoxicating" history of Prohibition this week! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/historylovescompany/support
It's difficult to imagine now, but there was a time in American history when the production and sale of alcohol was a criminal offense. Known as Prohibition, it was ratified as the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1919 and would prove to be the greatest failed social experiment in this country's history. But its origins date back to even before the nation's founding and it would be a long road before it would go into effect at the federal level. Find out how it all began in Part One of Prohibition, this week on the 'History Loves Company' podcast! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/historylovescompany/support
Hey poison pals! This one is a bit longer than usual, so bear with us (beer with us?). We are tackling alcohol (ethanol vs methyl alcohol) and the Prohibition of the 1920s/30s in the US. Alcohol is a toxin and we can't not discuss its effects on the body and on culture as well as the effects of methyl/wood alcohol which blinded and killed many during the Prohibition. Also, come learn how the American government was involved in the poisoning of its citizens during this time (seriously big oops). Obviously, the making and drinking of alcoholic beverages was going on way before that time period, so of course we delve into some world alcohol history and such first! You'll notice a pause halfway through where we took a break to get through the day (and I return with a well earned drink of my own--just one, because moderation and all that). Anyway, come learn and have fun with us as we delve into this messy business. Thanks so much to everyone for listening and supporting us however you can!

He also discusses the 19th-century roots of drug prohibition, particularly the moral concerns driving the anti-drug laws.(00:11:42) Chapter 2: Racial Narratives and Mass IncarcerationRich Ford discusses the common narrative linking mass incarceration to the war on drugs and its alleged racial motivations. Fisher challenges this narrative, arguing that early drug laws were about protecting whites' moral purity rather than targeting people of color. The conversation explores the racial dynamics of early drug laws, emphasizing the racism of indifference rather than explicit targeting.(00:20:20) Chapter 3: Moral Valence of Mind-Altering Drugs Fisher delves into the historical moral perceptions of mind-altering drugs, tracing back to Early Christian notions of reason and morality.He explains why certain drugs, like opium and later marijuana, were seen as threats to moral character, while alcohol was treated differently due to its varied uses.(00:26:15) Chapter 4: Legalization of Marijuana and Racial Justice The conversation shifts to the legalization of marijuana, highlighting its historical bans and recent movements towards legalization. Concerns about the increasing potency of marijuana and its potential backlash are explored, suggesting a need for careful regulation and messaging.(00:30:19) Conclusion: Closing RemarksRich Ford wraps up the conversation with George Fisher discussing insights and emphasizing the importance of discussing the ongoing struggle with drugs and intoxicants.

In this episode, we dive into the controversial topic of alcohol prohibition. Is banning alcohol the solution to reducing health problems, addiction rates, and crime, or does it infringe on individual rights and create a black market? We present 5 arguments in favor of banning alcohol and 5 arguments against it. Ultimately, it is up to society to decide whether or not to ban alcohol, and it is important to consider both the benefits and drawbacks carefully. Join us as we explore this contentious issue and encourage critical thinking and discussion. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/c-m-podcast/support
The Prohibition era (1920-33) plays a far more significant role in U.S. history than is commonly assumed. Yes, it clearly failed in its objectives. And, yes, the assumptions that led to the rapid enactment of the 18th Amendment were massively flawed. But Prohibition was, as Lisa McGirr, professor of history at Harvard, argues in her book, The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State, “one of the boldest and most radical social efforts to alter personal behavior in the nation's history and one that would have dramatic though unintended consequences for nation-state building and for politics.” It is also, not surprisingly, inseparable from the broader history of drug prohibition and drug wars since the start of the 20th century.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most people have heard of Prohibition, the time when America decided drinking was bad. But how much do we really know? Because it wasn't just the speakeasies that were hidden. We're talking about Mafia turf wars and government poisoning alcohol for years. And that's just the start. Because today we are getting into the deep, dark, and a little drunk, history of Prohibition. Episode Advertisers Include: Apostrophe, Square Space, Embark, ZipRecruiter.

Marijuana Legalization and Alcohol Prohibition | 710 Morning Show | April 10, 2021 LIVE form the Grand Opening of VidaCann in Tampa where they are having a 40% OFF everything sale! Federal marijuana legalization is inevitable in the United States, but it's likely to involve small steps to get there. Right now, Senate Democrats are gearing up to push a comprehensive marijuana reform bill in the coming weeks designed to end almost 90 years of federal cannabis prohibition. The similarities to the end of alcohol prohibition are striking.

In this episode of the podcast I get to speak with Steve Harrison and Trev Coleman of the seed our future campaign. "The Seed our future Campaign is a national movement that uses non-violent civil disobedience in an attempt to bring about mass awareness to the unsubstantiated and unfounded laws and regulations surrounding the Cannabis plant and how this affects us all Just one act of autonomy and compassion can create a catalyst for change. We must remember that it is us who have the power, not the powers that be. Together, we can stand tall, speak with truth and sow the seed of hope." Seed our future produced a great report called 'No Evidence no Crime' and it was written by Guy Coxall, Trev Coleman and Steve Harrison with contributions from Alun Buffy, Phil Monk, Mandy Tusz, Victoria Lenormand and Dr Orfhlaith Campbell. ( https://www.seedourfuture.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2020/10/Cannabis-and-the-Law-No-Evidence-No-Crime-MASTER-v1.3.pdf ) Trev was one of the authors to the seed our future report that is challenging the legitimacy of the UK laws around cannabis and only a few weeks ago the police stole his cannabis plants after he had called them because of 4 men breaking into his house. He is now suing the police involved and has requested the following from the which to date have not been provided by the police or UK courts. 1. FOUNDATION EVIDENCE for the claim that all genus of cannabis meets the currently accepted criteria for a schedule 1 substance in its raw form. 2. FOUNDATION EVIDENCE for claim that cannabis is a 'controlled' substance in the UK and who is making that claim of control. 3. FOUNDATION EVIDENCE for misuse. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out and I really hope these campaigners can achieve what they are setting out to do as it will be huge if they do.

Prohibition… 13 years of a poorly defined & ill enforced constitutional amendment to ban the sale, distribution, and transportation of alcohol. A movement spanning over 100 years; starting from temperance, and ending up in the well oiled, well financed Washington political machine… its legacy is more than just taxation and strange statewide liquor laws. Join us as Mia & Alexa sit down with a French 75 & Author of Dry Manhattan: Prohibition in New York City and Principle of Bard High School Early College, Michael A. Lerner, PhD to discuss Prohibition's invisible legacy in our everyday lives. Mia will also lead us through the fun back story of the Prohibition era classic, the French 75, how it got its name and who made it popular. Drink History is hosted by Alexa Wilkinson & Mia Fio Rito.

In this episode, Niki, Neil, and Natalia welcome Princeton historians Kevin M. Kruse and Julian Zelizer to discuss their new book, Fault Lines: A History of the United States Since 1974, followed by a discussion of “Dry January,” and new findings that young people are having less sex. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show: Princeton historians Kevin M. Kruse and Julian Zelizer’s new book, Fault Lines: A History of the United States Since 1974 is now available from W.W. Norton. Back in 2012, four thousand people abstained from drinking in January; in 2018, four million adopted “Dry January.” Natalia recommended historian Lisa McGirr’s The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State. Millennials, The Atlantic reports, are in a “sex recession.” Natalia referred to historian Gail Bederman’s book Manliness and Civilization: A Cultural History of Gender and Race in the United States, 1880-1917. Niki referred to this Huffington Post piece regarding polling on sexual behaviors. In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia recommended The Atlantic’s advertorial spread, “Five Ways to Make the Outdoors More Inclusive.” Neil commented on the Los Angeles Times article, “TSA to Deploy More Floppy-Ear Dogs because They’re Less Scary than Pointy-Ear Dogs.” Niki discussed Livia Gershon’s JSTOR Daily article, “Why Champagne?”
The people had spoken: They wanted beer, and they wanted it now, but not just for drinking. Protestors wanted the jobs that came with breweries, and the country was desperate from the money that could come from alcohol taxes. As quickly as temperance organizations sprang up in the decade before, anti-Prohibition organizations appeared in every city. But, a constitutional amendment had never been repealed before. The anti-Prohibition leagues realized they needed someone bigger than a governor or mayor to repeal this. They went after the Presidency.For a deeper understanding of the interplay between beer, taxation and the history of Repeal, Ambitious Brew: The Story of American Brew by Maureen Ogle is essential reading. Kenneth D. Rose’s American Women and the Repeal of Prohibition provided insight into Pauline Sabin’s work, as did David J. Hanson’s comprehensive resource, Alcohol Problems and Solutions.Those who want to do a deeper dive into the 1932 DNC and the mob’s involvement, you can read more in the article from Salon, Corruption for Decades. Lisa McGirr’s The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State also explores the relationship between the New Deal and Repeal. For more on Cox’s Army, check out The Bonus Army: An American Epic by Paul Dixon and Thomas B. Allen.Andrew Barr’s Drink: A Social History of America contains a great chapter about the failure of controls and the legacy of prohibition in state liquor laws and the relationship between California’s wine industry and repeal is well documented in When the Rivers Ran Red by Vivienne Sosnowski. To catch up with the bartenders who are bringing back pre-Prohibition cocktails, David Wondrich’s Imbibe is required reading.Support us by supporting our sponsors!
On January 17, 1920, the United States passed the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution, ushering in a 13-year dry spell known as Prohibition. But how did a country that loved to drink turn its back on alcohol? How did two-thirds of both the House and Senate and three-fourths of State legislatures all agree that going dry was the way to get the country going forward? It had always been a long, uphill battle for the temperance movement, but towards the end of the nineteenth century, certain forces aligned: fears of industrialization, urbanization and immigration. Traditional American life was changing - fast - and many people looked for a scapegoat: the saloon.For more information on how Prohibition came to be, check out Professor David J. Hanson’s, “Alcohol Problems and Solutions,” a comprehensive, interactive site that outlines all the various stakeholders in the Noble Experiment.Daniel Okrent’s Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition is a key text for learning more about Prohibition and how it came about. And, to narrow in on New York, itself, Michael Lerner’s Dry Manhattan: Prohibition in New York City is a tremendous resource.The bootlegger character was based on a real story, A Bootlegger’s Story: How I Started, which ran in the New Yorker in 1926.For more on the Atlanta race riots and how they connect to Prohibition, check out this story on NPR, in which professor Cliff Kuhn describes his research. To learn more about the intersection between race and the policing of Prohibition, Lisa McGirr’s The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State is invaluable.Further references can be found in America Walks Into a Bar: A Spirited History of Taverns and Saloons, Speakeasies and Grog Shops by Christine Sismondo.Support us by supporting our sponsors!
On December 5, 1933, the Twenty-First Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, supposedly ending our nation’s failed experiment with alcohol prohibition.Prohibition brought with it violence, organized crime, unsafe alcohol practices, and denial of basic civil liberties — and it almost killed the cocktail.Yet, 84 years later, we continue to feel the lingering effects of prohibition, both in policy and in culture — from blue laws, dry counties, and state-run liquor stores to the selection of alcoholic beverages available and the culture surrounding them.On Wednesday, December 6, please join the Cato Institute for a celebration of the 84th anniversary of the repeal of alcohol prohibition and a discussion of the way in which Prohibition still impacts us today. Then, continue the conversation at a reception featuring beer, wine, and specialty Prohibition-era cocktails. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
BAKED AND AWAKE SHOWEpisode 09- A Hanford/Maury Island Connection Host: Steve Cominski Co Host: George W. Masters 07 October 2017 Welcome back to EP09 of The Baked and Awake Show. I’m Steve, and I’ll be your host for this latest edition of the show, that at the time of publication, is the first of our shows available in the iTunes and GooglePlay stores!! We are ALSO available to stream and download in the Tunein, Stitcher (Applause!). Today on the show we are going to talk (more than we already have) about everybody’s favorite “new” way to smoke weed- Dabbing, and it’s not so new, and somewhat mysterious origins. We’ll also drop back into the ever informative Hemp History timeline, starting at 1900, and see what the 20th Century has to offer our Photogenic Protagonist, Cannabis, and its hard working and continuously underrated Sister, The Hemp Plant. Finally, it’s a return to Maury - Vashon Island, with some lesser known history of the Island, as well as a possible connection between a famous UFO incident of 1947 that bears the Island’s name, and another mysterious as well as eternally super deadly dangerous- Hanford Nuclear Power Plant. Strain of The Week CBD Strains!! Blue Roots Cannabis Durban Poison CBD Terpene Honey, Purchased at Clutch Cannabis, Renton WA Dabbing, and it’s Conspiratorial Origins will be covered in the HH timeline, below. Hemp History Timeline 1900- 1942 The Dawn of Cannabis and Hemp as we know it 1910- Mexican Revolution introduces recreational consumption to America 1914- The Harrison Act is passed- bad things to come 1919- Alcohol Prohibition begins (!!) 1924- Russian Botanists classify Cannabis Ruderalis -an interesting genotype that we will visit in more detail in a future episode or episodes 1933- Prohibition ends, actually ramping up pressure on MJ as the next target of the ever growing US law enforcement apparatus’ which now includes a very active Department of Justice, the FBI, the aforementioned OSS, and more. 1942- Henry Ford develops a car that runs on Hemp Ethanol. In a separate project Ford builds an experimental Hemp Car body 10x stronger than steel and significantly lighter- (In a way foreshadowing fiberglass, plastics, and carbon fiber tech during the WWII era?) The United States OSS, precursor Organization to the NSA/CIA, develops a highly potent MJ concentrate, made using Ethanol Alcohol as the solvent- dubbed “Truth Serum”. Codenamed “TD” for Truth Drug, it was administered to unknowing subjects as part of interviews and interrogations in the US and Canada throughout the run of the controversial and super conspiratorial CIA “MK Ultra” program. UFO’s over Hanford and a possible Maury Island Connection Recap of Maury Island Incident (Short) History of Hanford (Short- Maybe PK) UFO’s over Hanford in 1945 NICAP Official Report UFO’s over Hanford Project 1947 Twin Peaks Connection Check recent IG posts, saved (email to this account) about Hanford and weird unidentified particles falling from the sky, flying objects observed -sc AWAKE OPEN CASE No 001 The Hanford Site Hanford, to be honest- is almost too big of a topic to tackle at our tender stage of development here at Baked and Awake. The only reason that I feel alright taking this up at all, is because of all the many topics we hope to cover here over the next few years, Hanford is one that, more than many others, tends to be rarely discussed, even by avid counter culture loving types and the “Conspiracy Crowd”. Hanford is a massive 586 square mile parcel of land in Washington State that housed the most important nuclear weapons production facility in the United States. It produced almost 80% of the radioactive material used in the United States. It houses 56M gal of liquid waste and 25m cubic feet of solid waste. It is the largest superfund cleanup project in the UNited States. After the roof collapsed in a tunnel on the site in May 2017, Hanford released a statement that "no evidence of radiological release" was detected. It should be noted of course that Hanford officials ignored warnings given by experts in 1980 in regards to the condition of the structure and the dangers of its contents. ALSO IN MAY 2017 - radioactive contamination was unexpectedly detected during checks on an underground storage tank. In another incident that same month, workers’ clothes were found to have been contaminated with plutonium, though the source of the contamination was not determined. August 2017 - an airborne release during demolition of a building on the Hanford site was detected. The air tests were not expected to contain traces of plutonium. The airborne particles were assumed the result of the demolition but there has not been a conclusive determination of causality. In 2016, more than 50 workers were exposed to toxic gases, resulting in illness. More than a 1.3 BILLION dollars has been paid to workers who have been harmed at Hanford. These "unexpected" discoveries of contamination are almost certainly symptoms of a larger problem. Laziness and greed. The cost and effort necessary to address the issues is just too much for them to handle, so they lie and avoid and hide the evidence. From what I read while researching this issue, I would say the danger is clear and present. Now there are some real problems with this, other than the shortcomings of the officials in power. For instance, the cleanup is fabulously expensive. Estimates of the cleanup cost are in excess of $100 Billion. The current budget is $2.3 Billion, nowhere near enough to address matters in a sufficiently timely fashion. And Trump is cutting the existing budget by $120M. -The cleanup deadline is 2060, but experts believe many dangerous structures on the site will not survive that long. The underlying issue is human error and laziness. Hanford officials repeatedly dodge questions about the site and its management. Consider the number of earthquakes along the Pacific Rim in recent days and the dangers posed by the poorly maintained and aging Hanford facilities is amplified significantly. A major quake could release enough radioactive and otherwise toxic material into the air and water to cause widespread damage over an enormous portion of the Northwest.
In The Past Lane - The Podcast About History and Why It Matters
This week's episode focuses on American prohibitions. That’s right, Prohibitions in the plural. Even though Americans think of themselves as a people who have always prized individual liberty, history shows that there are MANY examples where one group of Americans tried to stop another group of Americans from engaging in a particular behavior. So here’s the lineup: 1. First, a feature on a little-known prohibition crusade from the early 20th century that tried to ban cigarettes. 2. Then I interview historian Lisa McGirr about her new book, The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State.
