Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cannabis was introduced into the United States about 100 years ago and was first used for medical purposes. While there is some evidence that Native Americans may have used cannabis for medicinal purposes prior to colonization, it was not commonly used until it was introduced into the U.S. by Mexican immigrants in the early 1900s. It did not become popular for recreational use until later in the 20th century.
