In 1876 the U.S received marijuana as a present! Who was it from?
Despite marijuana being illegal in most parts of the U.S right now, there was a point in time that is was legal to smoke just like you can consume alcohol. People using marijuana was not an uncommon thing. As a result of this world wide popularity, in 1876 the U.S. received what some might call the greatest present ever, marijuana.
The person who gave this gift was the Sultan of Turkey at the time. This gift was so well received that in 1880, Turkish smoking parlors began opening in the northeastern parts of the country! I wonder if Obama would accept that present.
