It has a Mexican name literally IN it. A conservative, white term would be Marijosepha.

logicallee, I think you've misunderstood the point made in the gp post. Harry Anslinger wanted it to sound strange and foreign to white conservatives, not familiar.

I mean that it has Juan in the name (which I contrast with Joseph). So MariJUANa. Couldn't sound more Mexican if they tried.
