I'm curious, what is the Spanish word for Marijuana???
Guys... marijuana is a spanish word.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana_(word)
It's Canabis with one n.
Also it's Cannabis in English.
"Numerous accounts say that "marijuana" came into popular usage in the U.S. in the early 20th century because anti-cannabis factions wanted to underscore the drug's "Mexican-ness." It was meant to play off of anti-immigrant sentiments."
