Today’s episode is all about the word “marijuana,” a term that many people might not realize is intertwined with a complicated, hurtful, and quite-frankly racist history. If you weren’t aware of the weight the word “marijuana” carries — you’re not alone, and this episode will help shed light on its convoluted past. Our series Weed Words is where each month we unpack a widely recognized but narrowly understood term or phrase related to cannabis.
