| There are three species of ''cannabis'' that I'm aware of: ''sativa'', ''indica'', and ''ruderalis''. While the last is known as hemp and is seldom, if ever, smoked; the former two are smoked and as such it can't be referred to as one species. Marijuana does generically mean one or both species, but the word has non-NPOV connotations as far as a lot of people are concerned. Calling the plant by its genus is an elegant solution to the neutrality issue. ] 10:42, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC) | |||
| :Throughout most of the world, ''cannabis'' (lower-case c) is the common name that also happens to be identical to the scientific name for the genus.

| This may be a nitpick.. but I don't consider the glass pipe in the picture to be a "bong". I've always heard such pieces referred to either as simply a "pipe" or a "bubbler", if it uses water filtration, which this particular piece may or may not. Maybe I'm just looking at it wrong, though, it does look kind of weird :) ] 07:22, Jul 8, 2004 (UTC) | |||
| :This piece does use water filtration; the maker has called this kind of pipe a bubbler as well as a bong (he's my roommate). I think "bubbler" is just a colloquial name for a bong (although maybe it's only used for some kinds of bong?) | |||
| :You're right, though, that you can't really see what's going on inside - I haven't got a picture of any of the mostly-clear ones he's made.

| There is a huge disconnection in terminology between different readers and editors of this article; I suggest we try to find some way to consolidate it all, find unique terms for this article, and document the variants that are known. This should help keep the article more consistent and at the same time also illustrate how terms/slang for a bong can change depending on location. I'll start it off; this list is organized with the term from the article listed first and then alternate names and location listed under it. ] 18:34, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Someone on the peer review page asked for some history; I noticed in the American Heritage Dictionary that the word '''bong''' comes from the Thai word, ''baung''.

A word irks me
In the bong shown in the photo, the gas flows from the lower port on the left to the upper port on the right.
The word gas sounds pretentious, smoke would be more appropriate.
Don't mean to be rude.
- Is it gas, smoke, vapour, aerosol, or something else? What do reliable sources use? (Hohum ) 15:17, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
