probably a shortened form of Mexican Sp. potiguaya "marijuana leaves." First recorded from about 1938. According to Online Etymology Dictionary http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=pot Oh Man! I used to have that LP. I wonder what happened to it. Hard to beleave it was recorded way back in 1938, what with the stereo and the electric guitar feedback.Man , we used to sit around listening to Patty Guaya and the Mexican Leaves while we were... huh? what was the question? Oh yeah. I went to Babelfish to translate potiguaya from Espanol into English and it said that it meant " potiguaya." I think them Etymologists been smokin too many fish. The Spanish for leaf is hoja, I dunno what poti is in either language. I mean the Spanish for marijuana is ...marijuana. Heh hehhehe that's funny cause see some people call it maryjane because, see maryjane and marijua... oh I guess it isn't that funny. So why is it called marijuana? Who the heck is she?

El Porro Terapéutico Es una maravilla cultivar la potiguaya Tener en una maceta el espíritu de Gaia Que hobby más divertido, es tan guay! Con el beneficio de ponerte muy fly! Cogollos, polen y sensei, lía un mai Te colocará con hostias de marea Flotarás sobre nubes de purpurea Sembras las semillas en buen guano Cultivar tu propia medicina es muy sano El costo para la salud es muy bueno Cultivar un remedio, eres un curandero Podar las ramitas como un buen jardinero Y pronto serás un menudo marijuanero Medicándote con porros, un estoned porrero!
