Why do people call Marijuana "weed"?

[thcbongman]

When i think of weed i think of some obnoxious plant infesting my garden terrorizing all of my happy plants. Weeds serve no purpose and are an annoyance. They are usually dealt with by being pulled out of the ground by the root and smothered with pesticides.

weed isn't a good term to identify marijuana. weeds aren't good, marijuana is..


what gives?

Cuz it grows like weeds. It's durable, and can grow in many types of conditions.

I'm gonna start calling it herb, for now on...nevermind, that's too much work and it sounds stupid.

Maybe you can call it Larry.

[maskedpantsman]

lol.
hey...you...yeah...the guy that looks like someone who will sell some marijuana to me...you got any...Larry?

[bonsaiguy]

Maybe you could call it Elmo.
Then when you flick your bic you can listen for the mournful cries of
"nooo...no torch Elmo...Elmo nice...no burn Elmo noooooo!" coming from
the depths of your bong.

From all I hear about growing weed, it doesnt sound like it is that easy to do. It sounds really complicated, so what do you mean it is so durable and grows like a weed...

by the way, I was fighting tears a second ago, freaking Larry and Elmo...ha, I will try not to think of that next time I hit it, I might bust up laughing half way through a hit...
