“Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” -Winston Churchill
In 1933, the federal government repealed the prohibition of the manufacture and sales of intoxicating liquor. For almost 100 years, the federal government has regulated the manufacture and sales of alcohol to consumers, while allowing states to implement their own systems as they see fit.
In this issue of Verde’s State of the Plant, we review the repeal of federal alcohol prohibition in the 1930’s and discuss what the cannabis industry can learn from decades of alcohol regulation.
