The "M" word (marijuana) is a ploy used by early 20th century lawmakers to denounce the evils of Cannabis; Marijuana used as a slang term by the Mexicans was used in place of Cannabis, as it sounded 'evil' and 'immoral' and is still seen as an evil word by many against it.

Cannabis sounds like a friendly Latin-ized plant

Pot sounds like a casual street name

Weed sounds like, well, it's a bothersome weed

And Marijuana sounds like the government shying away from it.

I don't like to call it marijuana, and I scarcely use the term weed, for medical discussions I use cannaibs, and other times, it's just pot.

What do YOU call it?
