        The US wasn’t even the first to ban it. In 1937 Marijuana Tax act was passed that effectively prohobited it, but a full ban came in 1970. Countries that banned it before 1937 include, but are not limited to: Thailand, Irish free state, Romania, UK, Indonesia, Australia, Lebanon, Sudan, Italy, Panama, Canada, South Africa, Mexico, Jamaica, Greece, Singapore…

          Technically, we were the first to make any Cannabis legislation, in 1619.

          Only problem, it was to force folks to grow it.

          Weird.

          Seems the church was the first to ban it’s use in 1484, does papal law count? Not sure on Tony’s Sources.
