    Yeah, AP is good. But this does show a lack of understanding on the part of the author. I expect better of them.

      It does show a lack of understanding, but I don’t expect better of them because that’s something that, in general, has been lost to history. It’s just not widely known. Plenty of regular cannabis users still call it marijuana.

        My mother caught me high as fuck when I was ~16yo and asked me, “Have you been smoking the pot?”

        The pot.

        I laughed so hard it was impossible to lie that I wasn’t high.

          I have a vague memory of a comedian (Kevin Meaney maybe) talking about his dad asking him if he was “smoking the pot” whenever he said something his dad didn’t understand.
