Якщо дивитися на частоту вживання сьогодні:
- cannabis — офіційно, медично, юридично.
- marijuana — загальновживано, хоча поступово трохи витісняється словом cannabis.
- weed — найпоширеніший сучасний сленг.
- pot — теж дуже поширений, але трохи менш модний, ніж weed.
- reefer — переважно старомодне або стилістичне слово.
Тож якщо у фільмі хтось каже:
- Do you smoke weed? — «Ти куриш траву?»
- Do you smoke pot? — те саме, тільки іншим сленговим словом.
- He's smoking a reefer. — «Він курить косяк (самокрутку з марихуаною).»
В американських серіалах чи фільмах найчастіше зараз почуєте саме weed.
