I always figured it was called weed because it grows really fast like a weed. But that all makes sense. Here's a definition I pulled up from dictionary.com:
1 a) A plant considered undesirable, unattractive, or troublesome, especially one growing where it is not wanted, as in a garden.
b) Rank growth of such plants.
2 A water plant, especially seaweed.
3 The leaves or stems of a plant as distinguished from the seeds: dill weed.
4 Something useless, detrimental, or worthless, especially an animal unfit for breeding.
SLANG.
Tobacco.
A cigarette.
Marijuana.
As we all know, marijuana is none of the above.
