You could also have added ‘Sensimilla’. Gone out of fashion these days. Apparently a name for Cannabis which is seedless.
Jamaica has other words for cannabis, for example sinsimilla, kaya and kush actually came from shortening kushumpeng. You also forgot reefer
S0MKE WEED EVERYDAY 4:20
REEFER…U MISSED REEFER.
ROACH
HASH
COT
LOUD!
GAS!
Cannabis means two canes, canna=cane, bis=two. It comes from the fact cannabis has separate male and female forms.
I to wondered why there are so many names for marijuana, though soon it will be legal in Canada as of October 2018 (near the end of October actually, just in time for Halloween XD )
Devils Lettuce, Loud, Jazz Cabbage, Sweet Leaf
You really looooove open borders, dontcha? So which ghetto have you chosen to live in personally to show your deep love for diversitee and all persynkind?
Forgot sticky icky
Sometimes we simply say Verde, which means green literally
In India It grows everywhere on road side… We only use it on festival "Holi" in our country we called it "Bhaang"….
Run earth double mistake northwest ill invisible bank describe.
In cali we also say tree and flower
Why is that legality map shown at 1:54 grey for North Korea?
Marijuana is legal in North Korea, it actually grows like a literal weed throughout the country on the sides of roads and everything.
It’s often used as a temporary pain killer but only causes more pain when the effects wear off because of hunger, so no one uses it there except tourists.
Now, that’s quoted by many NK’n refugees. My question is how on earth do you get a lighter into North Korea? Do they just have them there to buy? Do people bake it into food and not smoke it?
you should make a video like “Are There Any Disneys Left”
Right now you’re my favourite youtuber
Here in South Africa it’s called dagga. (That’s pronounced with the guttural ‘g’.)
Garbage more like 😫😫😫😫👎👎👎👎
We call it bag.
Also, the California law authorizing medicinal marijuana was titled SB 420
I call it whacky backy

Oh my god, cannabis and hemp are literally the same thing, there is no difference
The devil’s lettuce
Depending on the kind of marijuana there are names like hydro, dro, dank, good, swag and reggie. And of course names based on how you’re smoking it like dabs, shatter, oil, joint, blunt, bowl, and roach for the leftover joint or blunt. I’m sure there are lots of other names as well.
DJAMBA!
Stick to geography
Also, Hashish in Arabic
Were you up late smoking up when you thought.."hey..I could make a video out of this"?
Dude. You should do Lean. Like the cough syrup n the drink itself. It’ll b nice
What about wacky baccy?
this was a good video
Now lets do some smack
I call it cannabis 🙂
Where’s the ad at the video’s beginning?!
it’s now legal in canada 🙂
I’ve definitely heard people say "want to 420?" or "You 420?" as well as places and people labeling themselves as "420 friendly". As more and more places legalize it, and since Colorado has gathered longitudinal research on its effects both medically and criminally, prohibition sounds less and less reasonable, and enforcement is increasingly seen as a waste of scarce resources. Yet it’s also been shown that Marijuana does have a permanent negative effect on child development if there is heavy use before the end of puberty, so there should still be reasonable attempts to keep it out of the hands of kids… though they will get it anyways if they really want to… as they always have.
I heard 420 is police code for marijuana
I should be sleeping
Are there any sources for the 4:20 am myth? I think 420 is rather an actual code for the 4th and 20th character of the alphabet: D(rug) u(se).
dat gud kush…. seriously the Canadian Parliament building on 4/20 its just a big ass smoke bomb. definitely something foreigners should see at least once if they partake or even have interest in the prohibition culture
Broccoli
No need for fancy pronounciation for the word doop, it’s pronounced (almost indistinguishably) the same as dope. Dunno if it meant dipping sauce in old Dutch, but nowadays it mostly refers to baptisms
I got a little survey at the beginning so maybe its not demonetized?
Hope springs eternal.
Marijuana has so many names because each one temporarily escapes the YouTube DEMONetization
Gang weed rise up
What about hash, or hashish
I won’t have Lucifer’s cabbage in my household
Anyone remember “don”
