was drivin through my neighborhood today and saw a guy throwing out tons of plastic pots and got me thinkin why do we call pot, pot is there anysense behind any of the names assigned to marijuana

[ganjzilla]

yea i believe there are, its makes a lot of sense that pot would be call pot since grown in a pot...etc

[skiddy]

haha were u stoned when u thought of that cause i always thing of really cool shit like that when im

[Chongzbongz]

Lol yea. good analogy. Thats pretty plausible

[HighTillIDie]

my last name is dahl, it means "valley"... funny enough i moved from chicago to a valley

[erb]

I dunno why but I love the word Marijuana. Don't ask me why.

I think the word Marijuana derived from Mexico.

[erb]

but i usually call it herb

[rebgirl420]

Ive never thought about this until now...wow...and I have no idea why its called pot.

[McLovin]

it cant be because it is grown in pots..because so is basically every other plant. the only people who call it marijuana, weed, or pot are people who dont smoke. Smokers call it bud, green, ganja, herb, sticky icky, ect, ect.

[HighTillIDie]

lmao damn i was high, i don't think i even read this topic... geez


i'm with mclovin, who knows why its called pot...

[420_Spaceman]

maybe it's called pot because there refering to the place were we keep our stash, I.E. a pot-shaped container, or box

[420_Spaceman]

Or maybe pot refers to the bong used to smoke pot?? it's possible

[McLovin]

i dunno..but i think calling it pot is funny.

smoking pot...lmao.

true i hate the word pot as well or especially when some one calls u a pot head makes me think of the brick heads from the old gumby show if u guys ever seen that... lol

[LegalizeTheGreen]

the word Pot comes from the greek word Pothus, which means "elevated mind". this is refering to the effects of the herb upon us, and apparently even the greeks appreciated the plant, since that is where we derive the word Pot from.

*caution, the above post is complete bullshit. Don't believe anything I said. thank you.*

[Unknownfigure]

Dunno. But I have come to the conclusion that the word "Marijuana" was derived from Mexicans crossing the border illegally, and had brought the herb with them when they did so, a really long time ago. I forgot what I read that made me believe it, I started to believe it when I was blown out of my mind, so it may be possible for me to be reading about Marijuana one minute, then Illegal Aliens the next. I'm not sure.
