A caller asked us a trivia question last week about where the first anti-marijuana legislation in the U.S. was. We didn't know.

It was El Paso in 1914!

We checked it out and found some interesting historical documents that confirm this. Some of the language they use is so un-PC that we felt you needed to hear it.

Everything was actually said or written by someone.
