The 21st Amendment doesn't in any way make prohibition unconstitutional; at most, it makes it a state matter (in fact, it affirms state regulation, by banning the import of alcohol into a state in violation of state laws). So, the 21st Amendment can't be a barrier to state prosecution for drug crimes. | |

| Jun 10, 2015 at 22:51 | comment | added | irth | I've threatened this defence a couple times (small offences) and both times the case was thrown out before I could appear before the court. Want to know if they just didn't want to deal with me or if the argument had bite. | |
