The legalization or criminalization of various activities can vary significantly over time and across different jurisdictions. One example of something that was not a crime but is now considered a crime in many places is:

Marijuana Possession and Use: Historically, marijuana was widely used for various purposes, including medicinal and recreational use. However, over the course of the 20th century, many countries, particularly the United States, criminalized the possession, use, and sale of marijuana. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 in the U.S. effectively banned the use and distribution of marijuana for non-medical purposes. Since then, various countries have adopted laws prohibiting or regulating marijuana possession and use.

In recent years, there has been a trend towards the decriminalization or legalization of marijuana in some regions and countries, either for medicinal use, recreational use, or both. The laws surrounding marijuana continue to evolve, and different countries have different approaches to its regulation.

It's important to note that the legal status of marijuana and other activities can vary significantly depending on the country, state, or even city. What is considered a crime in one jurisdiction may be legal or decriminalized in another.
