History

Historical Context

In 2012, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize recreational cannabis, following decades of shifting public attitudes and earlier medical cannabis laws. This landmark decision, influenced by prior decriminalization efforts since the 1970s, sparked a broader movement, with 38 states allowing medical use by 2024. Jimmy Kimmel's documentary, 4x20: Quick Hits, further explores cannabis's cultural impact in America.
