It's crazy how legal it is in a state.

I think you're basically dead.

Yeah.

They only wanted to give it to the bad, bad AIDS people.

Well, the whole thing is ridiculous, and that's how you get organized crime.

I mean, look at Prohibition.

Detroit was one of the first places to have it when it was three years before they actually made it nationally outlawed.

And that gave birth to the Purple Gang, who Capone was even afraid of.

And, I mean, those guys were fucking ruthless.

And they would just go over to Canada because it was right across the river, and they would just either take a boat or in the winter they would drive.

And, of course, they'd send some –

underling to drive to figure out how heavy the ice was so they knew if they put that many kegs in a thing, you'd die.

So there's just Model Ts at the bottom of the river.

Yeah, dude, it's cool.

A lot of the old mansions still have the tunnels that will lead out into the river that the bootleggers used to use.

Wow.

It's really fascinating.

So Canada never went Prohibition, huh?

No, and it was right there.

Like, you could throw a rock.
