Definitions

  1. Dried cannabis leaves or flowers used as a drug or medicine.

Word origin

Borrowed from Mexican Spanish marihuana, from mariguana. First attested in 1874 in the publications of Hubert Howe Bancroft. Altered by influence of a folk etymology involving the proper name María Juana (“Mary Jane”).
