Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine two Legislative social actions; one being prohibition of alcohol and the other being the prohibition of marijuana to see how they relate or differ. It focuses on the history of both alcohol and marijuana. It examines the key players involved in each movement and how each was brought to life. The paper examines how black markets were created in each movement, how violence and crime played a role, how both movements were acts of congress, how there were shifts in the public's opinion, how they affected arrests, how the use of fear was used, how lies were used in favor of passing prohibition laws, how the movements affected consumption, and how racism was used to get the laws passed in both instances. It then ends with recommendations as to the many questions America will face once it is legalized.
