it came from way back in the 1930's. at the time some offcials were trying to make it illegal and they needed to attach a stigma to it so they could make it seem bad. hence the words dope, pot just sounds dirty and really bad like "dope wow that sounds bad man" so they used marijuana which comes from a latin lanuge and we are not usted to that so we get scared of it. so basicaly made up to place a bad stigma on it.
