The Word "Pot"

Can we all agree not to use the word "Pot" from now on? It has such a negative connotation. Think about it. Whenever someone is talking bad about it they call it "Pot" and call us "potheads". Its so negative. Its like when homophobes call gay people "fags". Lets use more creative words. Green, ganja, and bud are all acceptable. Feel free to comment and add your own favorite words.

I call it herbs

broccoli, lettuce, call of duty, skunk. those vague terms are for being secret though. like, hey let's go eat some broccoli. or, who's got skunk? or maybe, let's play some call of duty guys.

i know duuuddddeee! i hate it. its like "wow did u know so n so does pot? ewy!" god i hate people like that. its like calling something completely innocent like a fuzzy little puppy "scurv". i bet if puppies had the nickname scurv, mainstream society would hate puppies.

:) when i call up my causin i tell her i have pots on the stove waiting to be cooked. or i am in the process of getting hungry and wanted to know if she wanted to get hungry with me.
its a good way to communicate over the phone.

yeah man, people need to use the term stoner
its much more professional

let my smoke rise up to the sky
hit the blunt to get that high
i know ill never get to sober up
until im ripped and ready to die

i call it beeze. beezer beezin beezy beezed. really any connotation

I call it fuck up leaves, because everyone loves fucking

Cheeba, wonderspice (best when cooked thoroughly), MaryJane... and sometimes pizza. :)

Way to rip off my first highdea bro! just playing, i'm sure someone said it before me.

I don't see whats so negative about the word pot. I think people on the news and stuff say it more because it's a shorter word for it and it sounds better when you say things like pothead and pot leaf which arent negative at all

Yeah I'm with you, I dont see any issue in it, maybe its cuz i dont care about being called a pot head, but the term pot doesnt seem to be stupid or negative its jussstttt a name.

right but its all about how other people use it... not how we use it. Others use it as a negative term.

you got it dc

yeah i suppose, its different when someone who smokes says it but still? for real it isnt a bad term weed is weed is pot is marijuana is anything you want to call it :/

I couldn't agree more. I've always hated when people call it pot, but couldn't figure out why. You sir, have opened my chinky, glazed, bloodshot eyes. Thank you.

I hate being called a pothead. I got called one earlier by a kid that wanted to borrow my piece.
Guess who didn't get to use my piece? Haha
I like being called a stoner if I had a preference.
And I call my weed chronic. The dank stuff at least.

reefer. i love that one. it makes me feel like im in dazed and confused or somethin...

REEFER,dro,dubie,trees,herb,kacha[cambodian for weed] =]]]

People who take it negatively are the people who don't like pot.

Gay people often affectionately call themselves fags, at least my gay friends do. (Sorry if that offends anyone.)

People who like pot or don't mind pot like or don't mind the word pot. I affectionately call my friends potheads all the time. It's like calling them brother or sister.

Just my opinion.

I agree
:D
haha i usually call iit trees
peace, love and Pasta Sauce. <3

BOO! I say pot is a perfectly acceptable word for weed. I prefer being called a pothead instead of a stoner.

doogie

fuck that the more you say things like that the more they win. here's a real idea. if you want people to know we really don't give a fuck start calling it pot all the time. i always do and i smoke literally six to ten times a day. Besides i take the word pothead with pride. :)

Thank you...

totally agree, and me and my friends like to call it sensi, dank, dro, spliff, bruce banner, feta (because you crumble it like feta haha), cheese (if the weed we got smells cheesy), fruit or fruits (if the weed smells really fruity). blunts can be called witches brooms (especially if they're kinda crooked) or L's, frosted flakesis another one for weed, that's all i can think of atm since i'm bbbaaaakkkkkkkeeeddd

I use the word "dave" to talk about weed when i'm on the phone. I also refer to "dave" as a person.
Ie: Me- "Yo man, you know where dave is?" (Where the bud at?")
Friend- "Yea dude, he's over here you wanna kick it?" (Yea, i got some, wanna smoke?"

I find that Marijuana is also a negative term.
Cannabis is best.

Cannabis is by far the most professional, it's all I use around people who don't like or use it...everything else is slang

I call it pot almost everyday...i dont find it negative at all...

Other words: hippie lettuce , smokables , weed...

agreed man. i feel like a minority :(

Hahah yeah same

Dude I know I hate the word pothead with a passion

I also stopped calling potdealers drug dealers

Herbdealers sounds way more badass(:

Jamaican dandilions,herb,bud,ganja,grass,
And in my favorite cases......"the purple" ;D

NOT POT

I think its gay when people call it green or herb or nug or tree. but pots okay by me, that and weed sound the most normal

HERB HERBAGE ghetty green wacky tabacky

me and my best friend use the term "bbq" as smoking. and "burgers" as bud. so I'd say something like "hey jennn.. wanna bbq later? we can go halfs and pick up some burgers"

:)

Raise

Vegetables.

"did you eat your vegetables?"

"yeeeaaaaahhhh dude!"

yeahh I neverr say pot.. bud is popular around heree.

The word "pot" isn't the problem. It's the word "stoner" that is synonymous with negativity. I mean, think about what they called the people that stoned people to death in biblical times. I would think they were called "stoners". What the hell does that have to do with smoking pot anyway?

dude i think the connotation attached to the word might be a regional thing. like the word pot isnt always a lame word for it in some places. like i call it pot sometimes just because thats what we call it. i guess the word pot isnt as negative as in other places.

Its very possible that its a regional thing. All I know is I have been up and down the east coast and everyone here who hates weed calls it pot with so much disdain. And they use pothead as a slur almost. Think about every anti-weed commercial. All of them call it pot. Listen Im not saying I have a problem with the word. Im merely saying that others use it against us and we should refrain from doing so ourselves. Besides its not even a fun word to say.

i completely agree with this. I hate using the word pot. I just like to stick to the good ol original "weed" haha

Cosmo grass, gang, bud, reefer, chron, THAT FUN STUFF!

not down with "pot", every now and then i call it that just because so mamy people do, but it drives me nuts. hate the term pot head too, stoner is way better, it just sounds better
