Four Primary Uses
1. Recreational Use
Cannabis is a popular recreational drug around the world, only behind alcohol, caffeine and tobacco. In the United States, it is believed that over 100 million Americans have tried cannabis, with 25 million Americans having used it within the past year.
2. Medical Use
Medical cannabis (or medical marijuana) refers to the use of cannabis to treat disease or improve symptoms. Cannabis is used to reduce nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, to improve appetite in people with HIV/AIDS, and to treat chronic pain and muscle spasms.
3. Food
The term hemp is used to name the durable soft fiber from the Cannabis plant stem. Hemp can refer to any industrial or foodstuff product that is not intended for use as a drug. Many countries regulate limits for psychoactive compound (THC) concentrations in products labeled as hemp.
4. Industrial Use
Cannabis for industrial uses is valuable in thousands of commercial products, especially as fiber ranging from paper, cordage, construction material and textiles in general, to clothing. Hemp is stronger and longer-lasting than cotton. It also is a useful source of foodstuffs (hemp milk, hemp seed, and hemp oil) and bio-fuels.

Nixon rejected the recommendation, but over the course of the 1970s, eleven states decriminalized marijuana and most others reduced their penalties.
