Why do people call Marijuana "weed"?

[drboots13]

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?

my dad calls it grass. i like it much better because grass is peaceful and flows with the wind. it also makes everything a lot more pretty

I call it all of these - weed, grass, pot, ganj, Jay, MJ.

Something as great as it is deserves many different names

yeah but "pot" is just an annoying name. I can understand it being called "bud", "dope", "grass", "ganj" and best yet "weed". But "pot"?!!!! Hell no....that sounds about as stupid a s calling soda "pop".

Hah I use "Pot" most of all. That is what it always was when I was in HS a college in the 80s and 90s. "potheads", "smoking pot"... I dont know I like calling it pot and do :thumbsup:

alright it's ok to call it whatever you want I was just sayin that the word "pot" isn't used by young people in HS these days and if they do call it "pot" they're losers or long haired hippys like i said :P

Well dude all I know is John Lennon and the Beatles put the lyrics â??smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smoke potâ?� in the song â??I am the Walrusâ?�. So if anything I would say you and your friends that donâ??t like the term â??potâ?� are the losers and everyone else is cool! LOL

Seriouslyâ?¦

marijuana = the weed that intoxicates

[beachguy in thongs]

Why does everyone call marijuana an intoxicant?

It's effects are non-toxic.

in-'-ant is the difference.

Psychoactivity doesn't require intoxicants. Cannabis is a Cannabinoid-receptoricant.
