The reason many of us are fighting these terms is simply because the terms themselves are use by the anti-drug movement to keep the Reefer Madness lies going.
We need to bring cannabis use, regardless of medical or social use, to the same acceptable levels of alcohol.
To do this we need to stop people seeing cannabis as evil, by informing them about the more than 1,500 varieties, derived from 3 main strains.
We also need to show that because of the laws the growers are using heavy chemicals that stay in the plant causing much of the problems we see. Also, street dealers are tainting cannabis even further by spraying the herb with such things as ICE, or rolling the herb in a mixture that can and often does include heroin or cocaine, again causing many of the problems many are blaming on cannabis.
We need to show the difference in Sativa and Indica, the two main strains, how high THC effects the user and how high CBD effects the user.
We can do none of this by continuing to make cannabis sound like an evil, and that is what marijuana, stoner or pothead does.
To change the public perception, users need to grow up and behave and speak like adults with functioning brains. Using derogatory terms and slang does the direct opposite.
As for the strain names, they do nothing to help the cause and the growers need to stop sabotaging the fight by using names they know will get a negative reaction.
