I don't know, but it's funny how I can't stand the word, yet I call people potheads. Well actually I use stoner more, nevermind.
I don't know, but my favorite term is Ganja...I love my Ganja
yea all non-smokers that i know say pot, yet i hate the word, i will almost never use it. it doesnt make sence, pots kinda a harsh word to call a beautiful herb. but thats just me.

Hashish is the dried resin from the top of the female plant. So there's those words defined.
funny how the people that don't use the drug that makes you lazy, make the word as short as possible
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 always thought of "pot" as a newscaster thing to say. I even tell people who use it not to. ;x Bud's my favorite.
don't quote me on this. but i heard this one time POT is short for POTENT LIKE DRO is short for HYDRO? MAYBE? I dont know but sounds good to me. :D
did i get it right? :D WHAT DO I WIN? A FREE TRIP TO THE CANNABIS CUP? 1Lb of WW? 1oz of BUBBLEHASH? WHAT?

It's just a name.
i barley call it pot, i usually call it weed or bud. Sometimes i call it nugget. I call it marijuana more than pot.
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.
Shrubhead > pothead, der.
i hate using the word pot i use bud
fuckin dope really gets on my nerves thats what my po calls it
i always call it pot...i feel it sounds funny...like my parents or teachers saying it...so i use it...
yea i totally agree, when my parents say "pot" it drives me crazy cuz it makes it sound like some awful addictive drug. i call it weed.
