How cannabis has changed
The use of marijuana has been a harsh topic in this country for a honestly long time.
Over the last few years, the permission of cannabis for medical & recreational purposes has finally gained support! Back in the early 1600s, cannabis was used in several states as legal tender.
Then a law made it mandatory for every farmer to cultivate hemp. By the end of the nineteenth century, cannabis was a staple of medical products sold in pharmacies. Anyone could buy them. In 1906 the Pure Food & Drug Act was passed & weed was one of the drugs that became taxed. In 1931, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics deemed marijuana not allowed. A year later, the Uniform State Act left it up to state governments to control marijuana usage. Right around the time of the second war, there was a decline in marijuana import that led to the US Department of Agriculture creating a program to stimulate the growth of hemp. Those farmers were offered a deferment, allowing them to grow the plant rather than heading to the front lines. By 1943, almost 371,000 acres in this country were creating hemp. In the 1960’s marijuana was a popular recreational drug & became a section of a culture that was protesting against the Vietnam War. Despite a wonderful deal of downside propaganda over the years, marijuana is one of the most commonly used substances in the United States. In a survey, almost 90 million people indicated that they had used cannabis at least once. The high from THC helps people to alleviate pain, stress, anger, fear & social stress. Cannabis has become a more than several billion dollar yearly business with over twenty million active users in this country.
