'Marijuana' is a stupid term.

i heard joe rogan say something like marijuana was originally the term for some type of mexican tobacco, and people eventually evolved the term out of racist dogma to mean cannabis. so it really isnt marijuana... it's cannabis. i hate the way rednecks say "marijuana." lol. especially the dudes on Cops and other police officers... it makes me a little angry. agitated. like it's bad or something. lol. and who gave them the power? WE DID, unfortunately. we being the majority of americans. we should have elected Ron Paul!! and Obama needs to quit dancing around answers in preelection speeches (as well as the majority of other politicians.)

Much respect to you too my friend. What terrible way to go. You are so right about our so called leaders.

I'm totally with you on this man, I haven't called it 'marijuana' in god knows how long.

Cannabis sounds a lot more sophisticated and I use it tend to use it often.

Sure but it allows us to vent mate

I refer you to the famous 'Reefer Madness' propaganda film of the thirties.

Because of that film I can't help but think of it whenever I hear the term 'Reefer', only it brings a smile to my face because it's a very funny movie.

There's an excellent documentary floating around on Showtime, 'In Pot We Trust'. Part of the message, aimed mainly at medical uses, and individuals that condone it's benefits, and speak out for changing the terminology.

Personally, I think we have an over abundance of, well, stupid people that believe the boilerplate bullshit that's presented by the governments stand on our beloved cannabis. Trying to teach people to enlighten personal feelings regarding issues that they've already been programed to fear is a very long term task.

As far as the current administration, DEA crack downs on MMJ outlets in California have been told to stand down. We finally have a President that understands the bullshit lies because he has the balls to admit smoking MJ.

Mind set change will come in time, but it's going to take progressives in Washington to pull it off.
