I don’t trust a news source still calling it marijuana. Marijuana is a Mexican weed that was used as racist propaganda against cannabis in the early 20th century.
I’m happy to see the wide-spread adoption of cannabis. It’s non-addictive (it can be habit forming), you can’t overdose on it, and withdrawal is non-existent. Alcohol is addictive, you can def die from consuming too much in a single sitting, and withdrawal can literally kill you.
I agree with you about it being a propaganda word, but you really should trust the Associated Press as a source.
Yeah, AP is good. But this does show a lack of understanding on the part of the author. I expect better of them.
It does show a lack of understanding, but I don't expect better of them because that's something that, in general, has been lost to history. It's just not widely known. Plenty of regular cannabis users still call it marijuana.
My mother caught me high as fuck when I was ~16yo and asked me, "Have you been smoking the pot?"
The pot.
I laughed so hard it was impossible to lie that I wasn't high.
I have a vague memory of a comedian (Kevin Meaney maybe) talking about his dad asking him if he was "smoking the pot" whenever he said something his dad didn't understand.
The nomenclature doesn’t really matter. In Oklahoma its called a “Medical Marijuana Card” you have to get to consume
