In cannabis culture, “pot” is a common term for cannabis itself. This word comes from the Spanish “potiguaya,” meaning “marijuana leaves.” It’s a simpler version of a Mexican drink made with marijuana buds in wine or brandy. It is one of many informal names for cannabis, like weed, grass, ganja, and Mary Jane.

People use this to talk about cannabis they plan to use, whether it’s dried buds or cannabis-infused products like edibles. Unlike some terms, “pot” doesn’t specify the type of cannabis or how it’s used.

This word has had a big impact in popular culture and is linked to the 1960s and 1970s counterculture. It’s used in movies, music, and books to talk about cannabis, especially for fun. Pot” is still commonly used today, showing that cannabis remains a part of popular culture.
