The first thing ever bought or sold online, according to British journalist Mike Power, was marijuana. The sale was arranged in either 1971 or 1972 between computer science students at Stanford and MIT using Arpanet, the precursor to the Internet.

Reason Science Correspondent Ronald Bailey reviews Power's Drugs Unlimited: The Web Revolution That's Changing How the World Gets High for the Wall Street Journal.
