The Tamil Nadu Prohibition (Supplementary) Act, 1941

The Tamil Nadu Prohibition (Supplementary) Act, 1941 expands the scope of prohibition laws in Tamil Nadu by ensuring that the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act, 1937 applies to all intoxicating drugs, even if they are also classified as dangerous drugs.
