Devils Lettuce, Loud, Jazz Cabbage, Sweet Leaf
In cali we also say tree and flower
Forgot sticky icky
this was a good video
Oh my god, cannabis and hemp are literally the same thing, there is no difference
Right now you’re my favourite youtuber
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
Here in South Africa it’s called dagga. (That’s pronounced with the guttural ‘g’.)
Sometimes we simply say Verde, which means green literally
Stick to geography
I won’t have Lucifer’s cabbage in my household
What about hash, or hashish
You could also have added ‘Sensimilla’. Gone out of fashion these days. Apparently a name for Cannabis which is seedless.
In India It grows everywhere on road side… We only use it on festival "Holi" in our country we called it "Bhaang"….
We call it bag.
DJAMBA!
Now lets do some smack
Marijuana has so many names because each one temporarily escapes the YouTube DEMONetization
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 )
Also, Hashish in Arabic
Garbage more like 😫😫😫😫👎👎👎👎
I heard 420 is police code for marijuana
I’m from the Netherlands but i’ve never heard of something as "doop" and we certainly don’t use it as word for mayonaise!! The only meaning of doop in the Netherlands is when someone gets baptised but then we say " Gedoopt" Or when a ship gets to water and they throw a bottle of wine against it then it also named "gedoopt"
Gang weed rise up
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?
I got a little survey at the beginning so maybe its not demonetized?
I should be sleeping
Dude. You should do Lean. Like the cough syrup n the drink itself. It’ll b nice
The devil’s lettuce
you should make a video like “Are There Any Disneys Left”
it’s now legal in canada 🙂
Cannabis means two canes, canna=cane, bis=two. It comes from the fact cannabis has separate male and female forms.
Canada likes to spell it "Marihuana" for some reason.
Where’s the ad at the video’s beginning?!
Were you up late smoking up when you thought.."hey..I could make a video out of this"?
I think marijuana was first a Mexican word for wild tobacco. I use the term Cannabis because it’s the scientific accurate term
Also, the California law authorizing medicinal marijuana was titled SB 420
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 call it whacky backy
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?
Broccoli
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).
What about wacky baccy?
I thought “dope” was short for “dopamine” as you can get naturally high from rushes of dopamine/happiness…
S0MKE WEED EVERYDAY 4:20
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.
Jamaica has other words for cannabis, for example sinsimilla, kaya and kush actually came from shortening kushumpeng. You also forgot reefer
Anyone remember “don”
I call it cannabis 🙂
REEFER…U MISSED REEFER.
ROACH
HASH
COT
LOUD!
GAS!
