I got a laugh from this statement ‘These laws prohibit the introduction of intoxicants of any description (see exception).’ I remember my paternal grandfather telling me he had a ‘medical exemption’ during prohibition. So did a lot of folks. My grandfather called whiskey his ‘medicine’ until he died in the 1970s. It took me along time to get the meaning he associated with the word medicine! I wonder if they investigated the doctors for the number of medicinal alcohol scripts they wrote?. Jerry
