Should we start naming our Weed scientifically?

  1. I want to name mine in the Latin name but I just googled it and it sounds stupid. Apparently you write the genus and the species but our species are named Alaskan thunderfuck or Purple bologna penis. What would the name of white widow be? I named it Cannalbus-Illuminum because mine is crossed with a pyramid auto. Or Casativindican is more scientific

  3. For me when people tell me origin of words in Latin it sounds like they think they're superior than you they remind me of pretentious wankers

  4. Hahaha, this gave me quite the giggle, thank you. Even though that may not be how it works, it's still hilarious.

    Cannabis, like any other species of living organism, is named by genus and species

    Genus: Cannabis
    Species: Sativa
    Strain: Alaskan Thunderfuck
    I'm not sure how you'd classify a hybrid species... maybe as Cannabis sativa-indica or indica-sativa, depending on the species of mother vs father plant.

    I literally have no idea if you'd list the strain like Sativa Alaskan Thunderfuck or something.... Unless the person who created the strain made a scientific name apart from the common name.
