When was marijuana made illegal in the US?
America's first marijuana laws were enacted at Jamestown Colony, Virginia in 1619. A law "ordering" all farmers to grow Indian hemp was enacted. 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 most of that time, hemp was legal tender taxes were paid with hemp. Hemp was such a critical crop for a number of purposes, including essential war requirements such as rope, clothing and canvas that the government went out of its way to encourage growth. The United States Census of 1850 counted 8,327 hemp "plantations" with a minimum 2,000-acre farm growing cannabis hemp for cloth, canvas and even the cordage used for baling cotton. Now cotton comes into the picture. The revolution in Mexico in 1910 spilled over the U.S.border, with General Pershing's army clashing with bandit Pancho Villa. Mexico produced much of the hemp coming into the US at that time and the U.S. cotton producers used the hatred of Mexico to further their own agenda. Utah in 1910 outlawed the growing of hemp for any reason followed by Wyoming in 1915, Texas in 1919 and the rest of the US by 1927.
According to the United States of America, it is considered an illegal narcotic.
However...
(Opinion, read with discretion!)
If you're a moderately intelligent person, you might notice how it has nowhere near as many side effect as the other 'narcotics' and given that it's a plant that has far more beneficial uses than detrimental. I'd hardly say that it has any stand against alchohol or cocaine, one being legal.
Can you smoke marijuana while pregnant?
There is really no research on this, so I wouldn't risk it. Marijuana is hundreds of times less toxic than caffeine, but there's no telling what the smoke would do. I would imagine just the lack or disruption of oxygen being harmful.
Edit by Granny Storm Crow- There is a study "Mortality Within the First 2 Years in Infants Exposed to Cocaine, Opiate, or Cannabinoid During Gestation", that showed that the "cannabis only" babies actually had a LOWER mortality rate than the "no drugs" babies in the study!
A lady named Jen Alexander did a in-depth (and more readable) news article on the study- "Pregnant Women Smoking Pot Could Reduce Infant Mortality". There are also other studies on children prenatally exposed to cannabis, and it's effects on their development by Dr. Melanie Dreher (run a search on her name to find them).
And I, also, worry that the carbon monoxide and combustion products could potentially harm the baby, but you don't need to smoke cannabis! There are machines called vaporizers that gently heat the cannabis to release the THC, but does not burn the herb. And there are always those "infamous" brownies! Glycerin tinctures provide a third "smokeless" way to use cannabis for people to use cannabis.
Why is it hard to stop smoking cigarretes?
It is quite possible to stop smoking. This writer, a former 3-pack-a-day smoker, stopped 16 years ago and has not smoked since.
However, nicotine is a highly-addictive substance that is difficult to "kick." The most effective method seems to be nicotine replacement therapy (patch or gum) and support from a smoking cessation group or therapy. The writer believes that patches do a better job of replacement because of a much lower potential for addiction, as opposed to gum.
No, it's technically classified as a psychedelic even though many scientists believe it should be in its own class. With that said, the act of smoking stimulates the heart and blood stream so even though it may seem like it slows you down, it may be stimulating your system.
Nothing stops you from physically putting marijuana in a letter to be mailed. It mighted be illegal based on where you live.
What are some negative effects of marijuana on human being?
There are no studies with a reasonable level of validity that suggest any negative effects of marijuana.
*however, being a frequent partaker of Mary Jane, I can say that it does in fact have negative effects on the human mind.
* it limits your creativity and that is proven by my lack of creativity in the writing of this page.
that is not to say it is bad, it should be used instead of any otrher drug.
hell no its not i smoked like for 2 3 years like every day and in 20 30 days i was clean so dont worry about it
I'm really not sure, and i dont want to find out, and trust me you probably dont either. My advice would be to just drop the whole weed thing, unless you have a death wish.

Answer: Weed cannot kill you no matter how much you smoke. Its also impossible to get addicted to it. Some studies have claimed no correlation between cannabis smoking and lung, neck, and head cancers. Other studies have claimed that the risk of lung cancer is higher for those who smoke cannabis. Fortunately, if these claims are true, weed doesn't have to be smoked; it can be eaten or drunk as well.
