    Dude, go have a bowl and chill out, weed stopped being used because the war on drugs lost. They used “weed” and “hippies” to label an entire subset of people and vilify them.

    The plants always been called cannabis, marijuana and weed is fucking politics.

      Laws don’t dictate the use of language, people do.

      It just so happens that when you don’t have buds, it’s hard to find instances in which to use “bud”, and because even when I started, you needed to make sure it’s actually bud, not just some trim, grass, weed.

      Marijuana is the loaded term. Cannabis is a scientific one.
