# Talk:Legal history of cannabis in the United States

I added the section Regulations on narcotics (1850s-1900s) with the subsections Pharmaceutical regulations and "sale of poisons" laws and Adulteration laws and the subsection Strengthening of poison laws (1906-1923) under the next heading (Criminalization (1900s)). This period of history was missing, giving the misimpression that restrictions on cannabis didn't begin until the 1900s. In fact there were two states (Wisconsin and Louisiana) that had required a prescription for cannabis, and New York almost passed a similar law as far back as 1860. Brianshapiro (talk)

Since it has been awhile since the last assessment, I have had another look at the current version and noticed uncited text (including entire paragraphs) and lots of one-paragraph sections which make the article difficult to navigate on mobile.

Yes. You could also nominate it as a task to-do at 420 Collaboration which officially starts soon. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:20, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
