    Marijuana became federally illegal in the United States in 1937 with the passage of the Marihuana Tax Act, which imposed regulations and tax requirements on the production and sale of cannabis. While some medical and industrial uses were excluded, the act effectively criminalized marijuana possession. In 1970, marijuana was classified as a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. However, in recent years several states have legalized marijuana use despite its continued federal illegality.
