See, they've hijacked the termonology. By calling it marijuana its not apparent that its simply the hemp plant but contains THC.

Marijuana is a common name word with cultural meaning, but in fact its the same plant as hemp, but has THC. Some hemp has THCA, some has CBG, some has CBD. Its all hemp.

Its a psychological tactic because its a language barrier using cultural connotations.

Similar issues can be seen when discussing Cannabis indica var. 'Indica' which is can be broad leaved from northern latitudes or narrow leaved from tropical latitudes. Maybe cannabis sativa is the hemp and cannabis indica var. Indica is the medical cannabis. I think thats the case.

The Potcast had Mojave Richmond on a recently released podcast on Patreon which talked about the nomenclature issue.

Its difficult to debate and discuss when language hasn't been properly developed on the topic.
Agreed,

Choose Cannabis​

It is important to know where the term marijuana comes from, and how it has been used over a hundred-year period. It is also vital that we choose our words carefully, especially when the alternatives are mired in a century of racist history. As we work toward our efforts of making cannabis a conventional medicine, it is important to consider the terms we use and choose only the ones that will show respect toward our patients and their illnesses, as well as demonstrate reverence toward the cannabis plant as medicine.

We encourage you to use the word cannabis going forward. It is an intelligent, science-backed, and hate-free way to talk about a most important little plant.

Thanks for sharing that. Its literally a war out there, complete with violence, death, and propaganda from the opposition.

God is truth! Merry Christmas and Joyful Emmanuel! :smoke:
