I love the word "ganja". Not only does it sound cool, it has an interesting history. The word "gāñjyā" was originally used in the ancient Sanskrit language of India for the hemp plant, and that word made its way into a lot of the modern languages of India and Southeast Asia. It was brought to Jamaica by Indian immigrants who spoke Hindi and the word caught on among the Jamaican locals. From there, it traveled to the rest of the English speaking world due to the influence of the Rastafari movement.
