Section 1 states specifically of Liqours, I.E. Ethanol, the drinking alcohol. No other drugs.

Section 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

This is just them saying theyll bust yo ass.

Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

Section 3 is a built in clock.

What the hell is your argument again?

If it is that the 18th amendment implicitly included all drugs because alcohol is no different from drugs the way that newspapers are not different from television, then I want you to try it in the court of law and see how far you will get, because that is a ridiculous argument and will be treated as such.

You claim that a drink containing cannabis would exactly fit the definition of an intoxicating liqour. Incorrect. It exactly fits the definition of an ILLEGAL intoxicating liqour beverage

A non alcohol drink containing marijuana(like Marijuana Tea) is NOT an intoxicating liqour. It is an illegal intoxicating beverage.

Your wording is very confusing and jumbled together. What are you asking?
You beat me to the punch and put it pretty well, so I'll just give ya rep for saving me the time of research. :thumbsup:
CultureCherryPopper Reviewed by CultureCherryPopper on . Break this defense for me. I have what I think is a bulletproof defense against federal marijuana charges which I believe any judge or jury who gives two cents about the constitution of the United States would be forced to agree with. The eighteenth amendment was ratified in order to outlaw alcohol in the United States. If it could have been legally accomplished by Congress there would have been no amendment for this. The Twenty-First Amendment repealed this amendment, and expressly gave the power to regulate alcohol Rating: 5
