I think you mean "stigma" rather than "stipulation" and I agree with your point of view. Cannabis is the wonderful plant that offers so many benefits. "Marijuana" is a slang term originally used to scare the public by associating the use of the herb with immigrants (funny how some things don't change) Unfortunately, today a lot of people don't know what you are talking about if you refer to cannabis, but immediately understand the word marijuana.

It may be that NORML wants to take the stipulation out of the word marijuana, but thats not its official name. Thats like me calling a girl named Katie "Whore". Hey whore, get my drink. Hey whore, you make me feel so good. Cannabis is called cannabis for a reason, and Marijuana is just a negative connotation that is burnt into American way of thought. Kill the connotation, help kill the stipulation of Cannabis..

I still dont know why NORML or any group that wants Cannabis a part of American society to keep referring to it by its derogatory term "Marijuana". The word Marijuana has a stipulation in America. Call it by its name, Cannabis. I hate to be blunt, but shock seems to be commonplace in American change.. but its like saying, in tis day in age.. "All wetbacks and niggers are Americans." Yea offensive. because its deragtory. So is "Marijuana". Call it by its name, Cannabis and the stipulation is gone

Ganja paste: freshly cut sun grown sativa grind finely and mix with liquid aloe as a paste. Raw ingestion is vital to real ganja healing. cure famine/desease. cooked food is dead food. heat releases THC, but it kills the healing nutrition in ganja. Raw ganja is vital to healing. Doing all three is the best way for healing. THC with the living ganja nutrients of raw ingest increase healing.
