Created article
I've moved the content of this article from Drug policy of the United States. The content is poorly written, poorly sourced, and mostly irrelevant -- I didn't write this crap .... I plan to do extensive cleanup. The first thing I'm going to do is start converting the timeline into prose "sections", which are organized in roughly chronological order.

 * Why not format as a wikitable? See for example Double-entry bookkeeping system. Likiva (talk) 07:32, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't feel that a simple table or timeline is really how the article should be organized, because I think that many of the events/people mentioned are going to require extensive discussion, linking to full articles, images, etc, and I feel that the formatting/design limitations of a table don't really provide any benefits that warrant them.

AMA seems missing
I was reading through the timeline in the early years, and noted the [http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/about-ama/our-history/ama-history-timeline.page? AMA (American Medical Association)] was not mentioned. It is known they established a "propaganda department" in 1913, which is the same year the California outlawed Cannabis.

Actual dates, info
It would be nice if it actually said somewhere on Wikipedia when cocaine was made illegal. Because I can't find it under "Legal" on Cocaine, or on this page. Is it under the Narcotics Bureau of 1930? Who can say for sure....? A mystery for the ages. AnnaGoFast (talk) 04:36, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
