Lawmakers in Washington recently passed a law to change every instance of the word "marijuana" in various parts of the Revised Code of Washington, replacing the word with the term "cannabis" citing the racist roots of the word "marijuana."
As KIRO reported, Gov. Jay Inslee signed the bill into law on March 11 and the changes will officially go into place in June.
Washington state Rep. Melanie Morgan gave testimony explaining the word's racist past saying “As recreational marijuana use became more popular, it was negatively associated with Mexican immigrants,” Morgan said.

This might be the most ridiculous thing any state legislature has done this century. And there's a lot of stiff competition.

Maybe they should go after Cheech Marin for promulgating that stereotype?

I applaud those in far left-coast governments, dabbing the fruits of their labourers.
Vodka will next become 'distilled potato spirits'... until it is imagined by the dabbers that it offends the spirits of potatoes.

Potatoes are popular in ohio. Fuck ohio.
