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.

Oh fuck that, you got too much time on your hands.

I really do love breaking out the word dope when a bunch of folks call it "medicine" and they need to go "medicate" themselves before we play frisbee or whatever. Legitimate med users, sure thats cool and makes sense. But man it sounds stupid coming out of some 20 year old get who wants to make his pizza more delish and I think it really really hurts the legitimacy claim as a medicine.

Talking to a friend interested in getting out of the california "med" scene and come to legal weed land, I got to break out the following statement and it felt great "want to get back to selling some drugs bro?"

What if you don't recognize the authority of said government over that portion of your life. As in, you just completely disregard it, you are not willfully disobeying the government or consciously breaking laws, it just does not exist in your realm.

edit: Man, this whole conversation is some pretty dumb stoner talk guys....so do you think god can make a burrito so hot he cannot eat it?

When I was growing up, stoners were druggies, so I guess I wear that as a badge of courage.
"Do you take drugs?"
"Fuck yes!"

I'll be totally honest, you are right. It does have negative things attached to the word itself. Marihuana.

Calling it reefer is supposed to have negative connotations, but it's hilarious to say that someone was smoking reefer cigarettes. So it's a cool word in my book.

It's the pundits on TV talking about how the potency of weed has tripled or what not. I also don't like how they say the word pot. It's like they pronounce it in a negative way. Pot. My mind has gone to pot.

I think FOX should get all the play on words into one episode. Like marijuana: A "high risk" to your mental health. So it can be one whole episode to do and say things like that.

Is the reef sinking your mental ship? Stuff like that, but they should do it to such a "high" degree that it's hilarious.

So it's like ok if the potency has tripled, you only take 1/3 of the hits you used to, and that my friends is good for lung health. See, cuz you'd only need a 1/3 of the smokage to get you high as you used to be on that impotent shit. Although seeming as the cannabinoid ratio has a lot to do with potency and not pure weight by THC, I think they have it all wrong. Plus they're talking about market averages, so if you've been smoking skunk #1 since the dawn of it, potency hasn't changed a bit.

I don't think anybody's shown proof that smoking marijuana is related to lung health in any way.
 
There's 0 evidence of negative pulmonary function even after a 20 year 5000 person study. Its an expectorant. Certain terpenoids boost respiratory health.

One one level I revel in all the names, Dope, Weed, Marijuana, Dagga, Sinsi, Smoke. Green, it has been called this for a long time around the world, local slang is different everywhere. I am proud of all the names and refuse to allow the anti-pot people own them, any of them.
That said I prefer "the messenger" as I don't smoke herbal Cannabis and only want their message "the Resin" they are carrying.
I understand the thinking in folks trying to use Cannabis instead of Marijuana, they are trying to make Marijuana more respectable, but it is already, it is just the opinions of the anti-pot folks that need changing not what we call our favorite plant. I will admit Medical Cannabis sounds more respectful, but I only care if I am communicating to the straight world, no smoker should care what I call Cannabis or Marijuana or the Messenger as I am not the problem, the word is not the problem, the problem is the anti-pot people and they will use anyway they can to bring Marijuana and us down.
I think I use the terms NLD, WLD, NLH, WLH, Cannabis more then anything else, I will try and be much more colorful in my terms, fuck em if they can't take a toke....
Maybe if we all just walked around saying Marijuana in a loud voice for a few years, over and over, people would get used to it, like war action footage on TV or video of the cops beating someone, after a while no one really cares they are tired of it all and just get used to it, if they just got used to Marijuana that would be good.

When typing, why would you want to use marijuana? Cannabis is a much easier word to type.

When talking between friends we, 100% of the time, call it weed.

Pot is even easier to type, and say, if easier is the guide...
I mean weed is 33% more work then pot, and I do not want to waste 33% of my time describing it.
I also think it would be a good idea to shorten it from Pot to just one letter, maybe P, or M, or W, or C, or ?
Then we would all have a lot more time to do really important things like........... I forgot.....

Sorry, Sam. Most of us have some standards. Just like we don't shorten ok to just k, we don't shorten weed to w.

As a matter of fact, word shorteners are just hipsters trying to sound cool. People who say sesh instead of session, mersh instead of commercial, they're gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that. :tiphat:
