Yup. Slave masters. You know, the ones who throw you in prison and then make you work after being caught using it. Those are called slave masters, and those being caged are the slaves. People in prison are slaves, and those who encouraged their imprisonment used xenophobia, and the slang foreign term they used to appeal to xenophobes was the "M" word. You can call it anything you want. It doesn't confront me. However, it's proper, scientific name is Cannabis, whether sativa, indica, or ruderalis. Maybe a little reading will clear it up for you:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis

"Scientific names are never misleading. No matter where you are, every plant has only one correct name, so long as its taxonomic treatment is not in dispute. This last is a major reservation, but we can ignore it for now. The universality of scientific names means that even English speaking people can find out what species grow in China or Saudi Arabia by reading a technical flora of these countries. Not only are the names the same, they are always written in the Latin alphabet (which is the same alphabet as these notes).
1) Names were formed like Latin words. The reason is quite straightforward; Latin was the common language among all European peoples - and plant taxonomy as we know it has its origins in Europe.

2) Once a name had been attached to a plant group, it should not be given another name.

3) When commenting on how a name was to be interpreted, one should list the names of others that had used it.

4) It helps to mention some specimens that one has seen.

The first attempt at developing an international agreement was made in Paris in 1867. At this meeting, it was decided that a) the first edition of Linnaeus' Species Plantarum, which was published in 1752, would serve as the starting point of botanical nomenclature and b) if two names had been given to the same plant group, the older name would be the correct name. In addition, various rules were laid down as to what was required to valid publication - a phrase that means "published in such a manner that the name counts". For instance, publication of new names in horticultural catalogs used to be acceptable, but it is not any longer.

This is how science names Cannabis:

Kingdom – Plantae
Phylum – Magnoliophyta
Class – Magnoliopsidia
Order – Rosales
Family – Cannabaceae
Genus – Cannabis
Species – Sativa, Indica, Ruderalis

So, you can use any colloquial name you want, however it's real, scientific name is Cannabis, with a capitol "C".

ok this^ i read a few pages of this thread and was surprised no one said this till this guy...


its taxonmy name in latin is legit..its science.hah

.thats how i felt reading all the comments

no offense to any both sides of the argument if there is an argument more of a discussion, interesting but in law in science its just Cannabis

 

[Apache Kush]

also no one mentions ''ma''

the chinese word/ smybol for hemp or unconscious spaceyness

http://antiquecannabisbook.com/chap2B/China/Sound-Ma.htm
check this link ^^^^

It said somthing like the symbol for MA put the ''ma'' in marijuana and since the chinese were the first to write any shit down in writing systems, the get credit for most ealy inventions or origin stories,

well one of the first to have writing systems i should say, technicaly the Sumerians cuniform was first but semantics the chinese are always claiming shit like i read they claim credit for first soccer game to and FIFA now agrees its kinda bs just cuase they wrote it down you know what mean hah

my coffe book said so...

 

[Apache Kush]

I don't think it's a valid argument to say the scientific name is Cannabis, so we should all call it Cannabis. If I'm walking through the woods and I see a white-tailed deer, you would not hear me exclaim, "Look, a Odocoileus virginianus!"

Not quite the same. Marijuana and reefer are terms encouraged by our government and associated with race. The plant is cannabis. Show it some respect and call it by its name instead of what our anti-cannabis government has told you to call it. Every time you call it marijuana you are doing exactly what out government wants.

 

[snake11]

In Washington this name game continues. The liquor control board has adopted cannabis in its name for recreational while the evil medical marijuana is out of control ruining our society!

 

[Jellyfish]

Fucking bureaucrats arguing over a fucking plant while the world burns.

 

[waveguide]

well that's how shit works. when i went to australia, that was my introduction to australian politics.. keep people occupied with meaningless bullshit like "should we change the flag?" while you corner the issues that mean shit.

in fact, there are whole armies of people whose job it is to go into the world, and engage people, with stupid bullshit that will inhibit their productivity and ability to engage and improve anything meaningful.

that's how you engineer societies. it happens. it's been happening.


yet, every meaningless item that comes up, people want to bullshit all over it.


things are funny like that... when you decide to call something a different name, you're not just calling it somethnig different, you're also accepting the notion that it is "proper" to call something one thing and not another.. you're accepting the idea of correctness and incorrectness.

now fucken a people, do we really have no shit else to worry about apart from what one single word to call this thing that people have been calling a million fucking things since forever?

stay absorbed... stay impotent.... never notice that these idiots are steering you around with handlebars....
