    I’m sure you learned why the favoured word for cannabis shifted from “weed” to “bud”.

    Because due to cannabis growing culture, actual buds started appearing on the plants. I much prefer the “ruined hybrids (all of which have ruderalis in them)” which grow actual colas than trying to fit a badly growing sativa inside when it requires like double the heigh of a normal room, and still won’t make actual colas.

    The fact that you have access to cannabis rn is very likely because of the amazing cannabis industry we have.

    Are there shit seed banks? Sure.

    Is it all of them? Fuck no. Not even a majority, or even a significant minority.

      Dude, go have a bowl and chill out, weed stopped being used because the war on drugs lost. They used “weed” and “hippies” to label an entire subset of people and vilify them.

      The plants always been called cannabis, marijuana and weed is fucking politics.

        Laws don’t dictate the use of language, people do.

        It just so happens that when you don’t have buds, it’s hard to find instances in which to use “bud”, and because even when I started, you needed to make sure it’s actually bud, not just some trim, grass, weed.

        Marijuana is the loaded term. Cannabis is a scientific one.
