Does anyone know how Pot got to be called such?

I don't know but this reminds me of that scene from The Hangover,

Doug: I always wondered why they were called roofies. Cause you're more likely to end up on the floor than the roof. They should call em groundies.

Alan Garner: Or rapies.

'Potiguaya' or 'potaguaya' it is short for..

I would bet it was called pot by some one with the munchies so bad . He got the pot stuck on his head. That he was eating out of and his buddies called him pot head.....

Works for me

Yeah, that is kind of where my brain went too.

No idea why it started but how it keeps going, well I think it has to do with the ease of saying pot. Rolls off the tongue. Stoners are known to be easy going mostly. Weed is just a bit harder to say for me anyways.

Marijuana is way too hard to say very often. Pot it is then.
