Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Which is why I refuse to call it 'marijuana.' It's a word making it sound Spanish and therefore a threat from down south. It's from Asia, not Latin America. The name, in English, makes no sense- unless you want to demonize it.

I didn’t actually know that but I suspected it, with indica being one of the two most familiar species.* It was actually a shower thought I had last night, just before I ultimately forgot to take an edible (or ultimately didn’t bother because tbqf these gummies are just revolting).

*I thought sativa might have indicated a south Asian origin but that is actually just the Latin for “cultivated”.

The plant originated in an area that is located in what we call ~~Afghanistan~~ Tibet. According to the Hindu faith, Shiva has to smoke some every day, so he didn't get mad and destroy the universe

I think my colleague is Shiva

Actually the earliest known plant was around Tibet 2 million years ago.
