    1. Prohibition was a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol (18th amendment). It's hugely more than just a law. It took another amendment to undo it (21st amendment).

    2. 1920-1933.

    3. No

    4. No

    5. Yes

    Is your survey specific to national US prohibition? There were states and municipalities that had prohibition before the 18th and Volstead

    These are my views as well.

    Prohibition was ridiculous imo, it just fueled and powered a black market. I want to legalize a lot of things too.

    Yeah, it's an American History class. Good question though.

    1. What is prohibition? Prohibition started with the temperance movements of the mid 1800's and led to the ratification of the 18th amendment in 1919 and the passage of the Volstead act in 1919

    2. When was prohibition in effect? Forms of alcohol prohibition started in the US in the 1850s. National prohibition extended from 1920 to 1933. However, some states and municipalities still have blue laws that limit the sales of alcohol on certain days or even keep certain towns as dry towns.

    3. Do you feel we should ban the sale of alcohol? No

    4. Do you feel we should ban the sale of cigarettes? No

    5. Do you feel we should legalize marijuana? Too many caveats to give a yes or no answer

    1. What is prohibition? Amendment to ban the sale of alcohol
    2. When was prohibition in effect? I want to say '20s, but I'm not positive.
    3. Do you feel we should ban the sale of alcohol? No
    4. Do you feel we should ban the sale of cigarettes? No
    5. Do you feel we should legalize marijuana? On prescription. The difference would be small though; a good amount of teens have used marijuana more than once.
