I don't think it was that hard if you knew the right doctor. Probably similar to getting a cannabis prescription for your anxiety or insomnia in more recent times. Here in Canada during our brief experiment with prohibition it was so easy to get prescriptions for whiskey that bootlegging never took off in any serious way like it did in the US.I wonder if it was hard to get a doctors prescription for liquor, bet they didn't follow the recommended dosage
It was mostly a US thing, it was never popular here and national prohibition only lasted for two years. Otherwise it was a province-by-province decision. Unlike the US, criminal law in Canada is exclusively the domain of the federal government, so you can't be criminally charged for violating a provincial restriction. One province kept prohibition in place for almost fifty years but there was little punishment for just taking the ferry to the next province over and stocking up. The worst that the government could do would be to fine you.Thanks for the info. I will have to do more research on prohibition in Canada, thought it was mainly in the U.S.
