Since the late 20th century, there has been a growing movement in the United States to legalize marijuana. In 1996 California made news as the first U.S. state to approve the decriminalization of pot for medical use, and medical marijuana was later allowed in other states. Then in 2012 Washington and Colorado passed ballot initiatives to legalize recreational marijuana. By 2019 more than 30 U.S. states permitted some marijuana use—though it remained unlawful at the federal level. This raises the question, why was marijuana ever illegal?
California was the state that used marijuana for medical use first.
Yes, Indian reservations have more power than states, but less power than the Federal government. That's the reason why California and other states were able to legalize marijuana because the ban of marijuana is a state law. States have the power to override current state laws, and indian reservations are able to override state laws. If the ban of marijuana was a Federal law then neither Indian reservations nor States would be able to legalize it.
The definition of the word legalize is to make something lawful. That is, to give legal validity to something. For example, the State of Washington recently legalized marijuana.
