Freedom Jesus: Renaming marijuana for propaganda gains in legalization effort?

I'm seeing lots of new strains out there named things like

Speed
Crystal based names (I immediately think meth)
X Color/Flavor HEROIN
X Color/Flavor CRACK

I'm just wondering if that is the right thing to be doing as marijuana is making historical gains in legalization and acceptance in society as a whole and the whole marijuana shebangabang becomes less of a criminal subculture and more of a legal part of culture as a whole. Really? Do you really need to name it "Heroin" or "Speed" or "Crystal" or "Crack" when those are 3 of the worst drugs going that America has a problem with? I'll never smoke "Pineapple Meth" or "Purple Crack" or anything like that.

Name it something with positive connotations to the Culture Wars group that wants to ban it. Kind of like when Congress wants to pass an odious law they call it "PATRIOT" or "Affordable Healthcare."

What? You want to ban FREEDOM JESUS marijuana? Do you hate FREEDOM and JESUS?

I dono but the lexicon of a society and indeed language itself evolves. It always has.

So on the one hand the strain called "child molestation kush" may not have the best chances of being distributed far and wide where as Green-Crack is a compound word that conveys some relationship to the purported effect.
I have smoked some homegrown ( just added that compound word to my spelling dictionary) that was indeed considered laced with other things and all it was, was Hindu Kush grows under florescent tube lights.
So can cannabis have an effect that can cause auditory hallucinations? yes it can because I grew some.

Most of it is hype. My weed is like LSD or like heroin and so on but I am yet to experience anything more that brightening of colors and auditory hallucination for a brief moment as any extreme.
Last time I checked the other drugs are rather powerful in those areas..

You do make a good point but if the goal is to market then "new and improved" is rather over-used.
