Less than helpful illustration subtitle

The illustration in the section "recreational use" has a description reading: "Comparison of physical harm and dependence regarding various drugs". However, the graph there shows active/lethal dose ratio (i.e. how much you'd have to consume for fatal effects, vs how much will do to get you the desired effect) and potential addictive qualities of several "drugs". Meaning that physical harm as such isn't adressed but onyl potential lethality, which obviously can be pre-faced by a lot of physcial harm short of dying. This isn't necessarily the case for Cannabis but as the the section in general could benefit from some more research as to the psycho-social impacts of cannabis consumption, this comes quite close to intentionally confusing the reader. Even reducing the discussion of adverse effect to bodily harm proper is reductive to the point of being apologetic, but boiling it down even further to lethality is flat out denial. Hello people

Please add an image descriptor of the different phenological stages of the Cannabis plant to the "Reproduction" section of the article. This image shows the various growth and development stages of the Cannabis plant. This image can help readers better understand the different growth stages of this plant. It has been published in BMC Plant Biology.

The image can be found at the following link: https://bmcplantbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12870-024-04841-y/figures/9 Hunter7959 (talk) 20:04, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

No scholarly consensus on etymology

There is no scholarly consensus that the etymology is from Scythian, there are several hypotheses being considered but not enough information for scholars to decide upon one. Additionally, the sources that are used for this claim are not scholarly sources, they are popular press sources. For the sake of neutrality to this page as well as accuracy, please consider the changes I made to the page under etymology using linguists as the source. Changes I made are shown below.

Borrowed from Latin cannabis, from Greek κάνναβις, of ultimately unknown origin [1] Ari Feldstein (talk) 17:45, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

From the sources I am reading they seem to say a "Scythian or Thracian" word...perhaps mention both as we do at Etymology of cannabis. "The mainstream answer to the origin of the word κάνναβις is through some concocted root in Scythian. Sometimes Thracian is pointed to as a possible source as well."
Did find one source with a debate....Small, Ernest (2015-12-01). "Response to the erroneous critique of my Cannabis Monograph by R. C. Clarke and M.D. Merlin". The Botanical Review. 81 (4). New York Botanical Garden: 306–317. ISSN 0006-8101. Etymology Dictionary tells us that 'cannabis' was originally a Scythian or Thracian word. There is no mention of derivation via Arabic.

Then can we please use these sources, and state something along the lines of "Cannabis comes to English as a borrowing from Latin, which itself was a borrowing from Greek, which may have been borrowed from a Scythian or Thracian origin"? Wording could be somewhat different, but just the general jist of this, I feel it is reaching to claim for certainty that it is a Scythian word despite all us knowing for sure is that it came through Greek and Latin and MAY be a Scythian or Thracian word. Ari Feldstein (talk) 22:10, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
I agree with Ari on using these sources and changing the wording to what Ari suggested.Tommygunn7886 (talk) 23:59, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Both Tommygunn7886 and Ari Feldstein have been confirmed as sockpuppets and banned. Their comments here have now been struck out per WP:STRIKESOCK. Thanks to Moxy for having the patience to deal with this utter creep. A Rainbow Footing It (talk) 19:24, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

The description of the last picture under the paragraph "Sex Determination" reads "Indoor grown Acapulco Gold female plant in final stages of flowering (flushing in amber and gold tones)". "Flushing in amber and gold tones" sounds like these are the colours of the plant, but the colours in this picture are largely caused by the purple lighting commonly used to cultivate Cannabis.

 Done, it is actually pretty clear what change Avomecajo wants to be made, even if it wasn't done in "change X to Y format". I have removed the description of the colors, which really adds nothing important to the caption anyway. Plantdrew (talk) 15:52, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Edit request:Misspelling

The word "the" is misspelled in the final sentence of Etymology, if someone with edit permission can fix it please. Have a nice day :). ~2025-43387-13 (talk) 06:25, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
