In the U.S., cannabis has been illegal on the federal level since 1970. It was specifically targeted in the 1980s, starting with the War on Drugs and later with the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, which created mandatory minimum sentences of five years for people caught with marijuana or other narcotics.
Attitudes across the country toward cannabis have largely changed since then. Since the first states legalized cannabis for medicinal use in the late 1990s and then for recreational use in 2012, more have followed suit, with 19 states currently allowing for adult recreational use. Thirty-seven states, D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands currently have approved cannabis for medicinal use by qualified people. Recent NewsNational
