    Hey, really liked the video🙌! I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I could help you create a better distribution by working on post-production like better storytelling through Edits, Keywords, think catchy intros and outros, or even some engaging short clips! Would love to chat if you're interested.

    A sad byproduct of prohibition theologically was the twisting of the Bible saying that the wine Jesus drank and used was non alcoholic which is ridiculous and goes on to this day with some denominations. You can't even keep fruit juice overnight without refrigeration without without it starting to be alcoholic in the morning. Too much off religion is based on human tradition something Jesus in fact objected to. Now its Marijuana prohibition and the use of hashish during the Bible days was common place with it being put in candy and known in the Bible as sweet meats.
