Cannabis is not only a plant; it is also an elegant botanical compound. Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds in the cannabis plant with many beneficial therapeutic applications. The cannabis plant is also the source of fiber and seeds that have tremendous economic value as raw materials for industrial use, food and personal health products.
Few, if any, readers of HIGH TIMES would disagree with that statement—though many would elaborate on these claims in different ways, emphasizing one or another of the qualities and characteristics of the cannabis plant and its value to themselves and society.
Society is beginning to understand and appreciate the cannabis plant after a long period of misunderstanding and confusion, a period generally referred to as prohibition and characterized by general and purposeful hysteria. This period is also characterized by a great deal of misinformation, including misinformation about the name of the plant itself.
There are a lot of slang terms for cannabis. Some are hip, some are pejorative and some are downright amusing.
“Pot” is one of the most popular, historically, and, along with “weed,” one of the more widely used and well-known.
But the term “marijuana,” given its history and the nature of prohibition, is downright nasty. Marijuana is what prohibition supporters called cannabis as they sought to demonize its use and criminalize its consumers.
What is marijuana?
According to H.L. Mencken there are no known examples of the use of this word prior to 1894. It became identified as the “devil’s weed” by early supporters of prohibition, and many Americans don’t know any other name for the cannabis plant.
