Originally released on March 9th, 2005.

In response to 4 Alberta RCMP deaths from investigating a 20 marijuana plant "organized crime" grow-op, DML uncovcers the story of Stephen O. Lawson, an Alberta Provincial Police constable who got shot and killed in 1922 enforcing alcohol prohibition. In 1923, a petition with 51,000 signatures called for an end to the violence caused by alcohol prohibition. Later that year a Provincial plebiscite resulted in the removal of alcohol prohibition. Also included is a few quotes from Penn & Teller, Jesse Ventura, a young Liberal from last week's convention and a slideshow to "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earl - all showing how lots of folks have noticed the connection between one type of prohibition and another. As well, clips from "Rumrunners, Bootleggers and Moonshiners" - a documentary from The History Channel.
