Did you know?
- The term marihuana may have an unexpected connection to Chinese, potentially stemming from the word 麻 (má), which means 'hemp'.
- In some Latin American slang, cannabis products are referred to as verde ('green'), so a snack might be described as having a 'green' touch rather than using the word marihuana.
- The word comestibles is derived from the verb comer ('to eat'), which itself comes from the Latin comedere, meaning 'to devour'.
