Cannabis was introduced to North America by European settlers in the 17th century, primarily for its industrial uses, such as hemp for making rope, fabric, and paper. The plant was cultivated for its fibers, but its psychoactive properties were also recognized and utilized by some indigenous groups. Over time, recreational and medicinal use of cannabis spread, leading to its integration into various aspects of North American culture.
