A bill in Washington will soon take effect striking the word "marijuana" from all state laws after progressive lawmakers deemed the term "racist." The change removes the word, swapping it out for the term "cannabis" instead. Gov. Jay Inslee signed the bill, which passed unanimously and changes every Revised Code of Washington, into law March 11. The changes take effect in June.
Supporters of the bill, House Bill 1210, say the word "marijuana" has a long history of racism, claiming its usage is racist against black and brown people. "The term 'marijuana' itself is pejorative and racist," Washington state Rep. Melanie Morgan, a Democrat who sponsored the bill, said during testimony in 2021. Morgan discussed the word's history, which originates from Spanish. Morgan said that as recreational marijuana use became more popular, "it was negatively associated with Mexican immigrants." The state lawmaker claimed it is "racist terminology" and was used "to lock up black and brown people."

Until I read this article, I NEVER associated the term “marijuana” with a race - White, Brown, Black, Yellow, Whatever.

If you live in a state named for a dead white slave owner, you shouldn’t be throwing racist stones.
Let’s all sing a verse from the Mexican Revolution version of “La Cucaracha”
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
ya no puede caminar
porque no tiene, porque le falta
marihuana que fumar.
Ya murió la cucaracha
ya Spanish
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
ya no puede caminar
porque no tiene, porque le falta
marihuana que fumar.
The cockroach, the cockroach,
can no longer walk
because it is missing, because it does not have
a leg to walk.
The cockroach, the cockroach,
can’t walk anymore
because it’s missing, because it doesn’t have
its main leg.
The cockroach, the cockroach,
can no longer walk
because it lacks it, because it doesn’t have
marijuana to smoke.
