Etymology

Ganja comes from the Hindi word ganjā, which itself comes from the Sanskrit gañjā and meant 'hemp' or 'cannabis'; a helpful way to remember it is that the name has always meant the same plant product. So, ganja today still names the dried leaves and flowers of the cannabis plant used as a drug.
