Marijuana is its own special category, but club drugs (which for some reason include date rape drugs), inhalants and steroids are all in a “miscellaneous” category together?

Also, note all the ridiculous drug propaganda lies.

    You do realize that your providing sources for someone else who didn’t doesn’t make them less emotional, nor my original post “ironic” for not knowing your sources.

    I stand by my original post, which was a cursory google search of us history.

    Thanks for providing sources.

    However, my ultimate point that it was never a gateway drug and bans were consistently protested remains.

    Is your point that I’m wrong for not knowing everything because I said “Here’s what I found, stop being emotional and show me what you found.”?

    Good day.

      It wasn’t, or you’re horrible at it.

      “when was weed made illegal” produces

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_history_of_cannabis_in_the_United_States

      This

      Which opens with

      In the United States, increased restrictions and labeling of cannabis (legal term marijuana or marihuana) as a poison began in many states from 1906 onward, and outright prohibitions began in the 1920s. By the mid-1930s cannabis was regulated as a drug in every state, including 35 states that adopted the Uniform State Narcotic Drug Act.[1] The first national regulation was the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937.[2]

      Which indeed makes your attempt to mock someone for poor research / knowledge very ironic indeed
