I agree, but as far as names go it's important to paint a true picture in the mind of who you're talking to. Calling it Reefer, skunk, or dope can only work against you when you're trying to paint cannabis in a positive light.

It's not going to make-or-break the cannabis legalization issue, but it's the same reason why trial lawyers always refer to their client by "Jeff Dobson" and the other guy as "That man" or "the defendant".
