    The first significant instance of cannabis regulation appeared in District of Columbia in 1906.Regulations of marijuana (the phrase Indian Hemp is sometimes used) followed in Massachusetts in 1911; Maine, California, Texas, Wyoming and Indiana in 1913; New York City in 1914; Utah and Vermont in 1915; Colorado and Nevada in 1917. These laws were passed not due to any widespread use or concern about cannabis, but as regulatory initiatives to discourage future use.

    "Make the most you can of the Indian hemp seed. Sow it everywhere."
    -- George Washington, in a letter to his farm manager

    Thomas Jefferson, the co-author of the American Declaration of Independence was the third president of the United States. He cultivated cannabis.

    Benjamin Franklin, shown here on a U.S. $100 bill, started the first American paper mill, which made paper exclusively from cannabis.

    Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but I know one of the arguments against legalization and regulation I have heard is that THC levels are a lot harder to test/regulate than say, alcohol levels. One of the only reasonable arguments I've heard.

    I think it should be decriminalized, and unregulated.

    I think the government should plant hedges of marijuana plants in front of every home in America
