when was pot made illegal in the us?
1919
the region pol pot and the others moved to was inhabited by tribal minorities, the khmer loeu, whose rough treatment (including resettlement and forced assimilation) at the hands of the central government made them willing recruits for a guerrilla struggle. in 1965, pol pot made a visit of several months to north vietnam and china. he probably received some training in china, which must have enhanced his prestige when he returned to the wpk's liberated areas. despite friendly relations between sihanouk and the chinese, the latter kept pol pot's visit a secret from sihanouk. in 1971, the party changed its name to the communist party of kampuchea (cpk). the party statutes, published in mid-1970s, claims that the name change was approved by the party congress in 1971. the change in the name of the party was a closely guarded secret. lower ranking members of the party and even the vietnamese were not told of it and neither was the membership until many years later. the party leadership endorsed armed struggle against the government, then led by prince norodom sihanouk. in 1967, several small-scale attempts at insurgency were made by the cpk but they met with little success.

in 2010, as its use became more prevalent, many countries passed legislation prohibiting mephedrone. it became illegal in croatia and germany in january, followed by romania and the isle of man in february. in march 2010, it was classified as an unregulated medicine in the netherlands, making the sale and distribution of it illegal. the importation of mephedrone into the uk was banned on 29 march 2010. the next day, the acmd in the uk published a report on the cathinones, including mephedrone, and recommended they be classified as class b drugs. on 7 april 2010, the misuse of drugs act 1971 (amendment) order 2010 was passed by parliament, making mephedrone and other substituted cathinones, class b drugs from 16 april 2010. prior to the ban taking effect, mephedrone was not covered by the misuse of drugs act 1971. it was, though, an offence under the medicines act to sell it for human consumption, so it was often sold as "plant food" or "bath salts", although it has no use as these products; this, too, was possibly illegal under the trade descriptions act 1968. in the us, similar descriptions have been used to describe mephedrone, as well as methylenedioxypyrovalerone (mdpv). in may 2010, the republic of ireland made mephedrone illegal, followed by belgium, italy, lithuania, france and norway in june and russia in july. in august 2010, austria and poland made it illegal and china announced it would be illegal as of 1 september 2010. mephedrone had been reported to be used in singapore in february 2010, but it was made illegal in november 2010. in december 2010, following the advice of the emcdda, mephedrone was made illegal throughout the eu, a move switzerland also made shortly afterwards. countries which have not already banned it, such as the netherlands, greece and portugal, will need to change legislation to comply with the eu ruling. in hungary, a government advisory body recommended mephedrone should be made illegal in august 2010, which was followed, making it illegal in january 2011; spain followed in february 2011. mexico, by decree, outlawed mephedrone as a substance "with low or no therapeutical use which pose a serious threat to public health" in 2014.
