"Pot"

[punkrockzero]

this is one of those threads that you will either understand completely, or not at all. i have always put bad connotations on the word "pot". nowadays when somebody who is ignorant and against marijuana, they usually refer to it as pot. on anti marijuana commercials and websites, they always use that word, and now i never use it and neither do my friends. whenever someone says "pot" i get a strong urge to correct them. tell them to say weed or marijuana or something. i would never take offense to being called a stoner, because thats what i am. i interpret that as "one who gets stoned every now and then". but i would be offended if someone called me a pothead because they make it sound like im high all the time and im a brainless blob or something. for me it just kind of puts a more "judgemental" twist on what theyre saying.

does anyone agree? it might sound crazy, but it really pisses me off because i have never heard anyone who was against weed say something that wasnt complete bullshit.

I get upset if someone calls me a burnout, that might just be a local term though........I thought anti-weed websites usually call it marijuana???

The word 'marijuana' was used by the perpetuators of cannabis prohibition because the word 'marijuana' is espanol in origin.

It has been cited, many times, that the perpetuators of prohibition used racism quite flagrantly to appeal to racism in the masses (which was especially common in the era) in order to further drive their cause. Marijuana was a term used for a judgemental twist on Cannabis, long ago!

I either call it pot or dope, myself. I try to limit my syllables to about 3 per drunken slur.

i think you mean, this is one of those threads where you have too BE stoned to understand. and i just killed the rest of my hash in my bong, so here i am, i understand exactly what your saying, i hate the word pot, probobly most annoying than anyone else could call it, besides marijuana, marijuana is the name that got it banned in the first place people.

ive always thoght of "pot" or "the pot" as a heroin binge, (witch i have never done by the way, haha.)

im going to smoke a ciggarette, and ciggarette is a lame name to. i like to use the word fag. it really stumps people when you say fag in the us, they are like "ARE YOU HOMOPHOBIC! OH MY GOSG YOU IGNORANT ASSHOLE!"
have a nice day

go to skid row and ask for a $20sack of dope, and see what you get. calling it a drug, labeling it as DOPE is the reason it is so looked down upon. dopehead. have you ever been called that? more importantly, have you ever known (done) someone who has done herion before? or maybe you have a friend who is a junkie? but i doubt it, from what i decipher, you're young, and have never been around dope (the real dope) or people who do dope on a cosistant basis. you think you are looked down upon by your friends/fam whatever for smoking herb or hanging out with your friends who do the same? go make some "dopehead" friends, and you'll be calling it herb in a flash.
