names

miss strange Registered on Sep-03-2005 More User Info Message #4765 posted by miss strange (Info) September 03, 2005 09:57:36 ET Kind of an odd question but I've been curious about it for a while. I live in Oregon and here we call joints with tobacco (or cigarettes with weed, whatever floats your boat) a Spliff. But I've heard spliff be used on the internet for other things... what do you guys call it? So while I'm at it what names do people from different types of the world use for other thing? Here pot is basically just... pot, weed, bud, sometimes grass. People who say chronic are usually either thug guys or undercovers. What do other people say when the bowl is gone? Here it's ass. If theres nothin left its ass. Good weed is dank... bad weed is shit weed... I can't think of much else, but reading different forums made me really curious what words other parts of the world use for this stuff.

I could go on for quite a while. An anthropologist once noted that the more important something was to a society, the more names it would have. Eskimos have over 80 words for snow, as an example.

A bit OT, but it has to do with Oregon

I don't really feel like going back and retyping the whole thing, so I'll cut to the chase. The law has in it this phrase "the plant Cannabis family Moraceae". Now the problem with that is that taxonomists (scientists who classify living things)had a big argument about just what family pot is in. The old school taxonomists said Moraceae; the new school said it deserved its own family. The new schoolers won--the USDA (on its ars-grin and the itis sites)now lists pot as in the family Cannabaceae. It now is, starting with the Class-- Class- Magnoliopsida, Order - Urticales, Family - Cannabaceae, Genus - Cannabis, Species - Sativa/indica/ruderalis. Since law is VERY picky about wording of laws (Mr. Beers got off because the law failed to mention possession of seeds as illegal), it seems to me that the law is invaild because there is NO plant called Cannabis in the family of Moraceae. Missy, go hassle the Oregon NORML about this for me. I think it would go over better from an Oregonian, than an "outsider". Have fun, dear.
