Marijuana has been propagated, for food, fibres, and medicine, for at least five thousand years. Neolithic archaeological sites in China include marijuana seeds and plants. The first known mention of marijuana is in a Chinese medical text of 2737 BC. It was used as medicine throughout Asia and the Middle East to treat a variety of conditions. In India particularly, marijuana was associated with Shiva.​
Marijuana was used medicinally in the western world (usually as a tincture) around the middle of the 19th century. It was famously used to treat Queen Victoria's menstrual pains, and was available from shops in the US. By the end of the 19th century its medicinal use began to fall as other drugs such as aspirin took over.​
Until 1937, consumption and sale of marijuana was legal in most American states. In some areas it could be openly purchased in bulk from grocers or in cigarette form at newstands, though an increasing number of them had begun to outlaw it. In that year, federal law made possession or transfer of marijuana illegal without the purchase of a by-then incriminating tax stamp throughout the United States (contrary to the advice of the American Medical Association at the time); legal opinions of time held that the federal government could not
outlaw it entirely For most of human history, marijuana has been completely legal. It's not a recently discovered plant, nor is it a long-standing law. Marijuana has been illegal for less than 1% of the time that it's been in use. Its known uses go back further than 7,000 B.C. and it was legal as recently as when Ronald Reagan was a boy.
The marijuana (hemp) plant, of course, has an incredible number of uses. The earliest known woven fabric was apparently of hemp, and over the centuries the plant was used for food, incense, cloth, rope, and much more. This adds to some of the confusion over its introduction in the United States, as the plant was well known from the early 1600's, but did not reach public awareness as a recreational drug until the early 1900's.
America's first marijuana law was enacted at Jamestown Colony, Virginia in 1619. It was a law "ordering" all farmers to grow Indian hempseed. There were several other "must grow" laws over the next 200 years (you could be jailed for not growing hemp during times of shortage in Virginia between 1763 and 1767), and during most of that time, hemp was legal tender (you could even pay your taxes with hemp -- try that today!) Hemp was such a critical crop for a number of purposes (including essential war requirements - rope, etc.) that the government went out of its way to encourage growth.
The United States Census of 1850 counted 8,327 hemp "plantations" (minimum 2,000-acre farm) growing marijuana hemp for cloth, canvas and even the cordage used for baling cotton.

1606 -1632French and British cultivate cannabis for hemp at their New World colonies in Port Royal (1606), Virginia (1611), and Plymouth (1632).
Late 17th Century Hashish becomes a major trade item between Central Asia and South Asia.
Napoleon prohibited the use of cannabis in 1798

1619 In the Americas, the Virginia Assembly passed legislation requiring every farmer to grow hemp. Hemp was allowed to be exchanged as legal tender in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland.
1753 It is formally christened Cannabis sativa in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus, although the debate on the correct classification of the varieties still rages today.
1793 The British impose regulation and begin collecting taxes on all forms of cannabis in India.
1794Hemp becomes one of the most important agricultural products in the US. George Washington declares "make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere."

1901 Royal Commission concludes that cannabis is relatively harmless and not worth prohibiting.
1906Pure Food and Drug Act is passed, regulating the labelling of products containing alcohol, opiates, cocaine, and cannabis, among others. The law went into effect January 1, 1907.
1910After the Mexican Revolution of 1910, Mexican immigrants flooded into the US, introducing to American culture the recreational use of marijuana.
The drug became associated with the immigrants, and the fear and prejudice about the Spanish-speaking newcomers became associated with marijuana. Anti-drug campaigners warned against the encroaching "marijuana menace," and terrible crimes were attributed to marijuana and the Mexicans who used it.

1915 - 1927 Cannabis begins to be prohibited for non-medical use in the US, especially in South West states.
1916South African mine workers were encouraged to smoke because "after a smoke the native work hard and show very little fatigue". The usual mine practice was to allow three smokes resembling coffee brakes a day.
1916 - 1937 William Randolph Hearst's newspapers introduced the word 'marijuana' into English from Mexican slang.
Hearst sold lots of newspapers using stories about "coloured" men using drugs to corrupt white women. Many of them allegedly carried big knives and would go wild at any provocation. New techniques for processing hemp for paper that pose a serious threat to his timber based paper businesses provide the motivation.
1925Britain signed the 1925 Geneva International Convention on Narcotics Control, organised by the League of Nations. Cannabis is added to the list after Egypt and Turkey request it.

1928 Recreational use of cannabis is banned in Britain when the Dangerous Drugs Act is passed.
1930During the Great Depression, massive unemployment increased public resentment and fear of Mexican immigrants, escalating public and governmental concern about the problem of marijuana.
This instigated a flurry of research which linked the use of marijuana with violence, crime and other socially deviant behaviours, primarily committed by "racially inferior" or underclass communities. By 1931, 29 states had outlawed marijuana as calls to action against drug crazed Mexican and African Americans prove a big vote winner.
1935 Chinese government moves to end all cannabis cultivation.
1936 Propaganda film "Reefer Madness" is made to scare American youth away from using cannabis. The movie remains a cult classic.
1937 Cannabis made federally illegal in the US with the passage of the Marihuana Tax Act.
The act is pushed through by former Prohibition Commissioner Harry J Anslinger, now head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. The American Medical Association and the Oil Seed Institute opposed the law, but were ignored. Anslinger quoted press cuttings as proof that cannabis was "the most violence-creating drug on this planet".
Anslinger used the new law to expand his Bureau. He began an ugly campaign against "demon dope" using films and posters, associating it with jazz "voodoo music", inter-racial sex, madness and death.
1940sDuring World War II, imports of hemp and other materials crucial for producing marine ropes, parachutes, and other military necessities became scarce.
In response, the US Department of Agriculture launched its "Hemp for Victory" program, encouraging farmers to plant hemp by giving out seeds and granting draft deferments to those who would stay home and grow hemp. By 1943, American farmers registered in the program harvested 375,000 acres of hemp.
1944 LaGuardia Report by the New York Academy of Medicine issued an extensively researched report declaring that, "contrary to earlier research and popular belief, use of marijuana did not induce violence, insanity or sex crimes, or lead to addiction or other drug use."
1950For the first time ever in the UK there were more prosecutions for cannabis than for opium and manufactured drugs put together, 86 for cannabis, 41 for opium and 42 for others. That year a series of police raids on jazz clubs produced a fresh crop of British news stories about black men with drugs and white women.
1960s A changing political and cultural climate was reflected in more lenient attitudes towards cannabis.
Use of the drug became widespread in the white, upper-middle classes in the West. Reports commissioned by Presidents Kennedy and Johnson found that cannabis use did not induce violence nor lead to use of heavier drugs. Policy towards marijuana began to involve considerations of treatment as well as criminal penalties.
1961 A new treaty was organised, the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotics Drugs. It updated all previous drugs treaties, and set up classifications of drugs according to their supposed harmfulness.
Cannabis went into the same list as the opiates and cocaine, "having strong addictive properties" and/or "'a risk to public health." Only medical or scientific uses were permitted, and the World Health Organisation, advised by Anslinger, considered cannabis to have no modern medical value.
Traditional and non-drug uses were to be closely controlled by governments. It was resolved that "use of cannabis is to be discontinued within 25 years".
1964The first year when more white people than black were convicted of cannabis related offences in the UK. The total number of convictions, 544, was a little lower than in the previous two years.
1965The 1965 Dangerous Drugs Act began to bring UK law in line with parts of the UN Single Convention. A new crime was created, allowing premises to be used for drug taking. Convictions for cannabis offences rose by 79% in a year.
1966 The Moroccan government attempts to purge cannabis growers from Rif Mountains fail.
1968The UK government committee headed by Baroness Wootton concludes that "the long-term consumption of cannabis in moderation has no harmful effects".
1969 The UN estimates that there are between 200,000,000 and 250,000,000 cannabis users in the world.
Early 1970sAfghani hashish varieties introduced to North America for sinsemilla production. Westerners bring metal sieve cloths to Afghanistan. Law enforcement efforts against hashish begin in Afghanistan.
1970s Cannabis cultivated on a broad scale in Afghanistan.
1971Under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, cannabis is classified as a class B drug in the UK. It becomes illegal to grow, produce, possess, or supply the drug.
The 1971 Act did not prohibit fibre from stalks, or seeds, and allowed medical and research uses, but all of them needed licences from the Home Office which for many years were issued to only a few official researchers.
Cannabis became decriminalised in the Netherlands in 1976

1972The bipartisan Shafer Commission, appointed by President Nixon at the direction of Congress, considered laws regarding marijuana and determined that personal use of marijuana should be decriminalized.
Nixon rejected the recommendation, but over the course of the 1970s, 11 states decriminalized marijuana and most others reduced their penalties.
1970 - 1973 Huge fields of cannabis cultivated for high quality hashish production in Afghanistan.
1975 America establishes the Compassionate Use programme for medical use of marijuana.
1976 Cannabis is decriminalised in the Netherlands.
1976 In the US a nationwide movement emerged of conservative parents' groups lobbying for stricter regulation of marijuana and the prevention of drug use by teenagers.
Some of these groups became quite powerful and, with the support of the DEA and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), were instrumental in affecting public attitudes which led to the 1980s "war on drugs".
Clinton admitted smoking cannabis in his youth, but "did not inhale"

1979The UK Advisory Council proposed moving cannabis to class C under the Misuse of Drugs Act, and changing penalties for possession.
1981The new Conservative government said that they had no intention of ever reducing penalties for drugs offences, still less of legalising or decriminalising cannabis.
1988 In the US, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) administrative law Judge Francis Young finds after thorough hearings that marijuana has clearly established medical use and should be reclassified as a prescriptive drug. His recommendation is ignored.

US Supreme Court rules that medicinal cannabis users in states that have legalised medicinal cannabis can still be prosecuted under federal laws. The exact reason I don't apply for a nevada medical liscence, unlike California, you must posses a liscence to be legal and then you're in a database, Whoopee, here comes the feds. In Nevada with a population of a little over 3 million, at last count, there were only 600+ liscences issued. I wonder why?

"unlike California, you must posses a liscence to be legal and then you're in a database, Whoopee,"

That's not accurate at all, Med. There is no "requirement" to have a licence in the state of California at all. Each county can, at their discretion, issue licences, and med users have the OPTION of getting one, but its not manditory. There are plenty of counties that have not issued licences ... mine included. Only a letter of recommendation from a licenced M.D. is required.
