The word "marijuana" was invented by the prohibitionists to demean cannabis.

I'm not telling you what to call it but that's where the word came from.

I chose marijuana as the subject line for clicks.

And the spanish word being a deterrent taps into racial/foreigner anxieties. I'm not buying into that.

Lastly, I'm from CA originally, marijuana is not a dirty word, it blends in naturally with the local dialects. I don't get why it's a big deal. It's the same thing.

I don't smoke the stuff personally, but I think it should be legalized and regulated much like alcohol is. I definitely want medical marijuana as an option.

I prefer cannabis though.

Let's get this valuable plant from out of the shadows completely. Legalize it!
