You hear stories about marijuana or medical marijuana. You may hear a term called “cannabis” and a lot of people think that this is some new word to describe the plant. But the reality is that the two words are interchangeable.
The word cannabis is a Latin term for the plant. And this is actually the term that has been used in medical journals for thousands of years to describe the plant that you all know as marijuana. The term marijuana is actually term that was actually used during the passage of the Marijuana Tax Act in the 1930s.
Now this was the time of Reefer Madness, this was a time right after the prohibition of alcohol had just ended and this country had a lot of law enforcement on its hands that were out of work. And so it seemed like a good idea to make another substance illegal and it just so happened that this substance could be found on a lot of the minorities in this country. And so the Marijuana Tax Act was actually passed to create a burdensome tax that no one could afford. So it was a $100 per dollar value tax. This meant that obviously anyone caught with marijuana could go to jail but would be required to pay a huge find and of course if they couldn’t pay that fine they would have to go to jail.
The word marijuana is a Mexican term for the plant and the federal government used that word marijuana with a racial connotation and hoped that it would get support to make the substance illegal it was popping up with minorities around the country. Now the term cannabis was also being used at the same time. It actually had been used in this country for a lot longer than the word marijuana. In fact around the turn of the century before the Marijuana Tax Act, cannabis was in pharmaceuticals that you would pick up at your pharmacy.
Cannabis was recommended by doctors to treat warts, to treat coughs, as a tincture the same way that many people use it now. And when the American Medical Association heard that this word marijuana that they were talking about in congress, when they heard that this was actually cannabis that they were talking about, the American Medical Association actually lobbied the federal government not to pass the Marijuana Tax Act because it would create very expensive medicine.
At the time a dose of medical cannabis in a tincture was about a penny. And if you added the tax act that would cost a hundred dollars and a penny. And so unfortunately the Marijuana Tax Act eventually made it too expensive for pharmacists to include cannabis in their products or for other research to exist.
So the words marijuana and cannabis are interchangeable. You should know that the word cannabis is a scientific term for talking about a plant and marijuana is more of a cultural term. And its origins are racist but today many people use the marijuana as more of a sub-culture. I think it’s pretty common for sub-cultures to take words that their oppressors used and reidentify them with themselves. So again, if you’re saying marijuana, you’re meaning the same thing as cannabis. And either area acceptable.
short, informative, respectable. PERFECT! this is what is going to change people’s minds, not cussing and getting all mad but by being respectable and informative.

This is better history than I learn in school
Are you f***ing serious?
The same bullshit to bullshit people that needs bullshit.
what she FAILED to mention was that marijuana was actually a term for tobacco from mexico. with that being term being used for cannabis would created confusion and thus enough propaganda to make it illegal. so in a sense the word marijuana is bad as a whole. i say weed tho.
You’re retarded. Cannabis is the actual name of the cannabis plant, marijuana is a slang term created by the government during reefer madness.
people really don’t know this?
The spanish word is marihuana not marijuana. What’s his name, anslinger coined the new spelling.
cannabis was renamed marijuana by the mexicans and at that time people saw minorities a bad and what not so when mexicans starded using marijuana instead of cannabis people forgot that they where bthe same thing and whee scared so people saw weed as a bad thing when it was the same and there for people forgetting about the good of cannbis and only paid attetion on the bad of "marijuana" so it was out lawed
Everything is the Blacks fault
its called bud now lets smoke it!
"Learn the difference between cannabis and marijuana"???? Annoyingly worded. U should ave said "learn where the words ‘cannabis’ and ‘marijuana’ came from. Saying it how you said it is trying to separate the two and say there is a difference, which isn’t right. They are both just weed. If u wana explain the origins of the words, then say that
…duh
yes its really shity i really hate them now
Áll that is healthy for us they try to take away and replace it with things that make us sick…it,s all about money…
Nice try cop
Dumbies still callin Cannabis, ‘weed’ (an unwanted pest in gardens), ‘pot’ (something you piss in), ‘marijuana’ (a name used in racist ads to make the herb seem evil). Stupid stoners. RESPECT THE HERB
your a shithead there has never been any deaths from cannabis
the scientific name is marijuana
"Marijuana" is a racist term, popularized by W.R. Hearst’s campaign of yellow journalism. Please do not use it to denominate our favorite panacea. There are much better words to use, like "pot".
Bud,pot,smoke,weed,tree,green,marry,dank,loud,good good,sticky icky and the best one in my book Cannajuana.
Cannabis refers to a plant, i hope that you do not think hash is a plant.
No! You are lying or just completely misinformed!
The truth is that everyone at that time knew what cannabis was. The word marijuana was made up by Aslinger to trick the public into thinking that it was some dangerous exotic drug that had to be stopped. Marijuana IS NOT A MEXICAN WORD!
The term was NEVER used until the 30s!
LOOK IT UP YOURSELF!
Does Zombies smoke Marijuana? 😐
who else is high right now?
thank you, ma’am, for a very interesting informative piece of information. so many people out there have silly names for the product. why not call it one name and stick to it??

No we call it weed.
Wouldn’t a $100 tax on every $1 make that $.01 dose $1.01…not $100.01?
Are you retarded? This was the 1900’s.
