Any resources that could help me figure this out would really help. I'm writing a paper on how language affects thinking and claiming that thinking also affects language.
Hello there. Your question seems to be related to school work, so we just want to remind you, and any potential respondents, that our rules DO permit people to ask for help with their homework, so long as they are seeking clarification or resources, rather than the answer itself. This policy is further explained in this META Thread.
Additionally, while our users may be able to help you out here, we hope that you also will take the time to check out our six-part series, "Finding and Understanding Sources", which should hopefully prove to be helpful for you as you continue in your research.
For the "when" part, have you looked in the Oxford English Dictionary? The unabridged, enormous version, not the desktop kind. Your university probably has and your local public library might have a subscription you can use to log in to the online version.
I looked it up, and the first citation they have for non drug use is from 1953.
