Yeah, this is the third time I'm seeing this reply and facepalming. I'm 99.99 percent sure that the narration I'm paraphrasing said "cannabis," and I just automatically translated it, when I made the meme.
Weirdly, I think I might be conflating a British-produced true crime show (which had that very innocent attitude toward weed because of extreme cannabis prohibition in the British Isles) and an American true crime show which had a similarly adorable attitude toward weed, just because it was targeted at an audience of VERY WHITE older people.
Which is outrageously incorrect, more than anything else. I mean, older people smoked a shitload of weed. If we're talking about Boomers, they are absolutely the generation of Americans who have smoked the most weed, over their lifetimes. But now they pretend like they've never even seen it before, and it's just another reason why we need to "close the border."
On that note, Americans use the word Marijuana because that was the Mexican Spanish word for cannabis and it was supposed to be stigmatizing to make it easier to ban in the US (those degenerate Mexicans were the ones corrupting our youth with this devil drug).
Such a long history of being so easily played by propaganda
