Reply to comment by kibufox in TIL that India had to ban charas (cannabis concentrate) due to pressure from the US. by UltimateGamingTechie

Your comment does not make sense because the substance was outlawed in India in 1985, decades before legalization began in the United States at the state level

By 1975, Oregon, Alaksa, Maine, Ohio Colorado, and California all had decriminalized weed, which is what the commenter referred to.

Going down to the state section, you can actually see some forms if medical marijuana being legalised in the late 70s!
