I was thinking about how some of my friends and other people that I know jokingly refer to marijuana as "the pot," and how a lot of people who don't like marijuana or people who tend to think that it's the devils drug call it "pot." But where the hell did the word "pot" come from? I've heard people refer to marijuana as weed (most common usage probably), reefer, ganja etc. and even though I've never personally heard people use Rating: 5

yeah people didn't get good at growing indoors until the 80s so that's not it. Actually homegrown used to be a term for shitty weed. I mean "pot".

The song isn't about Dutchys like dutch masters. It's about a dutchy (doo-ch-e) pan. people in jamaca used it to cook with, and it gets passed arround the table. that song was written by a bunch of 10 year olds.

(back on topic)
I noticed that the word "POT" wasn't said mutch till the 60's and 70's. before that people called it reefer. mabey it was do to the rising drug war that people needed a new code to call it buy, and being that most of the weed that came into the country in the 60's and 70's came from south america, it's easy to see were they might have gotten the name.

NO shit, you can't put that together. . . Dutchypan = pan/crockpot = Pot

I call it pot. It's what's always been used around me. I always thought the term emerged in the 60's...a time where "all the teenagers are smoking it and the country is going to 'pot'"......

I'm a libertarian, and I have always called it pot... as in "hey, wanna smoke some pot?" (more common than "you want a soda?" when a few of my select friends come over!) Most of my smoking friends call it "pot" as well... I would say thats our most popular term, "bud" and "weed" being tied for a distant second... It's all in the location. I suppose "dank" is pretty popular (I see all the time on the forums), but I had never heard the term until I came here. :bong:

My friends and I all call it pot, among other things.
