21st century - The Beginning Of Legalization
- The prohibition of weed in America dates back to the early 20th century, but since 2000 there’s been a dramatic change in the way the country deals with pot. Public opinion on marijuana legalization has shifted dramatically, and politicians, pop culture and pot shops are working to keep pace.
Since 1970s, it has been reverting to cannabis medicinal applications in the United States, being allowed for a very small number of patients who have received approval from the Court Of Justice to consume cannabis as a treatment for their illnesses.
In 1990s, legislation was developed at the level of different states allowing the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes. For better understanding, feel free to take a look at the events of the Marijuana Movement and enjoy the below video:
- Against This Background, organizations that advocate for legalization of cannabis have received more and more support from the population.

However, the young generations now and 10 years ago are increasingly supporting the legalization of this plant's use.
