Does anyone know why one of the more popular nicknames for marijuana is pot? Personally I think its a stupid name and I hate it but it's the most widely used by non-smokers.

I'm not sure where the term pot came from, but the term Marijuana came from the Mexican-Spanish word for cheap tobacco. Bhang is dried leaves of uncultivated cannabis plants, or female plants with the resin removed. Ganja is the top of the female plant without the resin removed. Hashish is the dried resin from the top of the female plant. So there's those words defined.

i tottally agree with the fact that 'pot' is a relatively non-weed-smoker word. when i hear someone say pot, it just sounds like an authoritile term.

^ yea true, for me its usually a way to tell if they know what theyre talkin about or not, if someones like yea man lets go smoke some pot, or if the kids like i got a dime of ganja wana hit it? its easy to tell who knows what theyre talking about, in most cases.

I call it pot of weed or bud or whatever... it's all the same. Also, I hate being called a Stoner or a Pothead. I'm neither... I just smoke pot, why put a label on it?

I hate when people call it pot. My only guess on how they got the name is because it grows from a pot... :confused: And the government makes up some of these names to try and degrade us even further like 'dope' calling us dopey. They sicken me. *smokes some Cannabis*

I used to not like the terms pot or pothead. Still don't like being called a 'pothead', but my brain immediately connnects 'pot' with cannabis sativa. This may even be because 'pot' was the first term I was taught to recognize as the drug. More recently I've been trying to refer to it as the 'shrub', this all started when I was tripping in the woods, smoking a blunt and my friend acknowledged the 'shrubbery' on the other side of the lake. She said it funnily, and I laughed and laughed and hit the blunt until I spit up foam.
Don't mind being called a stoner, but I would appreciate it if the terms 'shrubhead' or 'shrubber' were more common.

It's quite funny to make up terms when you're callin up your hook-up. I mean really, how would you respond if someone called and asked "Yo, you got any earth?"

whenever i am talking on the phone about drugs, i use a code name such as: "hey man u got any... stuff" "or lets go do some funyuns later". sometimes i slip up and call it herb, but usually i refer to it in code name or in natural language. i try not to say pot, i usually call it weed or cannabis.
