Running Dry in the Cove

Depriving people of alcohol is like depriving a child of recess. It’s unnecessarily torturous—not only on those of drinking age but on the economy as well—and leaves the population with idle hands. And we all know what idle hands are. During the 1930s, America’s prohibition period not only caused sweeping states of depression (ironically, the Great Depression occurred near the tail end of it), but also saw a huge influx of crime as the country saw illegal speakeasys developing to wet the palates of thirsty individuals everywhere. Now through September, Crystal Cove State Park is hosting an exhibit titled “Running Dry in the Cove” to help educate people on the impact the prohibition had on the newly established beach community. In this Great Recession, educate yourself on a time when things were a whole hell of a lot worse economically, and folks couldn’t even get drunk to forget about it.

  1. I recently tried CBD gummies from this website https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/collections/full-spectrum-cbd-oil for the pre-eminent control and was pleasantly surprised past the results. Initially skeptical, I create that it significantly helped with my dread and be in the land of nod issues without any noticeable side effects. The oil was serene to use, with definite dosage instructions. It had a kindly, earthy grain that was not unpleasant. Within a week, I noticed a marked upgrading in my total well-being, feeling more relaxed and rested. I appreciate the ingenuous approach to wellness CBD offers and aim to pursue using it.
