You might want to be a bit more welcome to new ideas and opinions.

And as an addition, yeah, people still do use "nigger," well, "nigga" both black and white. Even to each others faces, if used in a familiar and comfortable manner, it can be a term of endearment.

I prefer Cannabis. Or herb. Marijuana just is... Eh. Almost like a pathetic joke gone wrong.
On the contrary, I think that the word "Cannabis" is a bit pretentious.

Those people that have been involved with it for a long time understand - like NORML, the Million Marijuana March movement, etc. The kids on this board will get it someday, maybe. The next generation will have a new word, to replace Cannabis - or they'll go back to the term Marijuana.

Cannabis is still relatively unused as a term for weed, outside of this board - in the U.S. at least.
