> “humans in my country started using cannabis in the 1990s for the first time”. For my point it's irrelevant if people used cannabis thousands of years ago and then stopped. My point is that weed had no presence in culture or social acceptance pre-1990. Weed is therefore much easier to ban than alcohol and not comparable to the difficulty of banning alcohol. I don't know the history of weed in US, but my guess is that it's roughly similar.
