Nellie Bly in 1885. Must have been stronger in those days:
The soldiers have an herb named marijuana, which they roll into small cigaros and Smoke. It produces intoxication which lasts for five days, and for that period they are in paradise. It has no ill after-effects, yet the use is forbidden by law. It is commonly used among prisoners. One cigaro is made, and the prisoners all sitting in a ring partake of it. The smoker takes a draw and blows the smoke into the mouth of the nearest man, he likewise gives it to another, and so on around the circle.One cigaro will intoxicate the whole lot for the length of five days.
