We insist on bringing all the dumb reddit shit over here with us for some reason.
And it's not really a weed either, and it is certainly not a grass. Do you take everything literally?
Cannabis is not a weed? I think you're mistaken about that, friend. It literally grows like a weed in Asia.
It's a native plant there. I wouldn't really say it's a weed. It is farmed throughout Asia for fibre, food, and drug... What other weed do you know of that is such a major agricultural cash crop?
Missed opp for c/annabis
Cultural carryover from Reddit where they use trees because /r/marijuana has a shitty mod.
Thanks. No wonder I didn't understand. The exodus feels like forever ago and it disconnected me from reddit culture.
Using the word tree to refer to reefer predates reddit culture. Idk why. Best guess is our ancestor's lack of creativity regarding slang terms and it's a leafy plant.
When fully grown, they do resemble small trees
And, the buds also look like baby trees…
Burning trees 🔥🌳

“trees” is a common slang for marijuana.
e.g. “'Cause when I smoke out, I hit the trees harder than Sonny Bono” - eminem
