Even the popularization of the latin name Marijuana (Mary Jane) was to associate cannabis with latin American immigrants. In Spanish it's mostly called marihuana or mariguana.
- overboard2 3y agoIsn't Marijuana pronounced like "marihuana"?
- pier25 3y agoIn Spanish? Not at all. The J has a very strong sound.
- dragonwriter 3y agoThere is considerable regional and subcultural variation, but, even when pronounced strongly its not /g/.
- Julesman 3y agoWhere exactly do people say Mariguana? Not in Mexico. If you over-pronounce Spanish the J catches in your throat a bit, but it's still an H sound.
- dragonwriter 3y agoIt's a sound that English often renders as “ch” from other languages.
