There is no definitive proof that ??pot? comes from potiguaya, or other Spanish words. A very old word for marijuana is ??tea? (I've only heard one person call it that, many years ago), and users may have associated the word ??pot? with the word. Others have suggested that it is a potted plant, or that it can be smoked in a pipe with a ??pot bowl??. The jury is out on this one.

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
