"Section 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
Section 2. The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.
Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission here of to the States by the Congress."
This amendment repeals the Eighteenth Amendment which prohibited the distribution of "intoxicating beverages." It is interesting that this amendment is the 21st and the age requirement for drinking in the US is also 21. Or maybe I just find that interesting......
This video is a "60 Minutes" piece on lowering the drinking age to 18. In the US 18 year olds can be drafted, tried as adults, and are considered adults in every aspect of the law except for with drinking. It is my opinion that if my country can draft me to fight some bull shit war for oil, or for a display of our "dominance" I better damn well be able to drink a beer.
This next video is from a Family Guy episode in which they legalize marijuana. There has been plenty of scientific evidence that shows the marijuana is less dangerous to both the user and to other than is alcohol. The negative effects that do occur with marijuana use dissipate shortly after usage has stopped. Though there is a plethora of scientific evidence it is clear that corporate America has worked hard to protect their vested interests in keeping marijuana illegal.
