The term
cannabis is used throughout the
resource. During the field-test phase of resource
development, some students commented that
cannabis
was a new word for
them. Although junior high students are more familiar with
the term marijuana,
the resource continues to use cannabis
as it is a more
inclusive term, including marijuana, hash, and hash oil. It
will be helpful to the students if teachers explain to them
that the term cannabis will be used to refer to the
substance they may know as marijuana, pot, weed, dope,
grass, or hash/hash oil.
