"A man gets arrested for possession of alcohol in Toronto in 1916. Prohibition in Ontario wouldn't end until 1927. (John Boyd / Library and Archives Canada)"
Well, Holy Cow, I didn't know there was Prohibition in Ontario, Canada! But apparently, there was.
And, more successful? Any way you care to define it.
But perhaps one way might be that it anticipates some of the modern thinking on addiction. Maybe even does it one better in realizing the futility of preaching a negative and telling people not to think about a particular topic, and just maybe zen alternatives?
