Here's a bigger question, why do YOU call it marijuana?

It's called CANNABIS, that's it's proper name that's been used for as long as the English dictionary used the word for that plant. Marijuana is it's Propaganda name, it wasn't called MARIJUANA before the 1930's, it was called CANNABIS

Just shows you how much effect that propaganda campaign effected the world. That name is still being used today, by someone like you and the others around you. Marijuana is a Mexican slang term for a wild tobacco. Later adopted by the U.S government to make people think MARIJUANA is different from CANNABIS, thus fooled society successfully.
