My name is Potguru. I am a connoisseur of fine cannabis and extracts. I moved to Colorado a few years ago to be with like minded people. Come join us, but be warned that setting foot in our beautiful state might cause you, too, to fall under Niwot's curse. It has been said for hundreds of years that once you experience the beauty of this land you will want to never leave. We are cursed, come join us and live among the free.

Here's what I learned today in my research about original work: "We just summarize it, we don't create it, and we don't report it until it's been published elsewhere first." --Potguru (talk) 18:09, 1 March 2016 (UTC) Here's what I learned today... I have a great deal to learn and I need to keep the noose tight.

Civility

What I am learning today: People love and hate words. In some cases people love the word "cannabis" and in other cases people hate the word "marijuana". In different parts of the world these terms may mean the same thing or different things. In certain parts of the world, like the state I live in which is the first in the world to regulate "marijuana" for both "medical" and "recreational" uses, one term may be defined where the other is not. Surprising to most is the fact that "Cannabis" is not defined in Colorado... just the THC containing portion is defined... and its name is marijuana. We also define hemp in terms of cannabis, hemp is the portion of the cannabis plant which has less than 0.03% THC. So please do not get mad at me when I correct the text in articles to reflect the source material's use of cannabis or marijuana. I am a stickler for detail and so if the source material says "marijuana" I will change the article to reflect that term even though people might generally prefer to use the term cannabis. It becomes a problem when people just change one into the other. For example, I found the following on wikipedia: " The Kansas Attorney General stated that he would sue the city if the measure passed, arguing the city does not have legal authority to reduce cannabis penalties." But the state AG never said that. As pointed out in the reference what he said was "the city does not have legal authority to reduce marijuana penalties". It is important in this new time (a time when marijuana becomes legalized across the planet) that we stick to facts and reflect the content of the references... not our own personal preferences.
