Maybe there should be a bit about Students for Sensible Drug Policy? Benjamin (talk) 10:16, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cannabis and Broccoli[edit]

None of these sources is WP:RS. This is a fringe issue, with no WP:WEIGHT for your proposal. You appear to be determined to make this vague connection based on an emoji, raising the possibility of a WP:COI, which you are obligated to reveal if it applies.

LOL. I hereby declare I have no conflict of interest, i hold no financial interest in either cannabis or broccoli companies, nor do I have any connections to DRAM or Lil Yachty or the magazine. I rarely use emojis, and have only ever used the broccoli emoji on wikipedia, and only within the last few days. The only connection I have, like at all, is that I have consumed both plants before. Is that enough of a reveal for you? --- Back to the actual content: I sincerely can not understand why you reverted my Broccoli (disambiguation) edit. Did you even look at it, before you reverted? As to WP:WEIGHT, the disambiguation page itself already contains it, it just isn't explained. There are two articles in the list, where "Broccoli" means cannabis:
  • Broccoli (magazine) is a "magazine for cannabis lovers". Weird that this magazine made the same "vague connection based on an emoji".
  • Broccoli (song) has two instances where the term appears, one is "I'm rollin' up my broccoli" and the other is "All she want to do is smoke that broccoli". Sounds not like Brassica oleracea.
What i did is point out this connection by adding the sentence "In cannabis culture Broccoli has been used as a stand-in for Cannabis:" above these two listed articles. What exactly is your problem here? 91.64.59.58 (talk) 23:12, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is a fringe relationship and weak content, WP:FRINGE, with no reliable sources. I suggest you drop it, WP:DEADHORSE. Zefr (talk) 23:54, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Zefr:, I suggest you stop following this user's various talkpage comments if you have nothing productive to add. This is a valid avenue of discussion - and all they want to do right now is discuss - yet you insist that the topic is pointless and can't even be discussed (but, as I see it, the view is currently 2-1 against you). Whatever you have against this, drop it. Either participate in good faith or don't comment at all. Kingsif (talk) 00:54, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
IP, I was actually thinking that a new subsection about euphemisms in general could be created; using them is a large part of cannabis culture but it is currently not mentioned at all. Even R/trees redirects to the article, but is not discussed. And besides the Daily Mail, your sources are fine and can be sifted through to see how prevalent "broccoli" as a euphemism has become. It would seem to be widely accepted, though, since dictionary.com says When not referring to the actual vegetable, broccoli is slang for “marijuana.”; the List of slang names for cannabis is exactly that, a list without any cultural explanations/relevance. This TIME article discusses why cannabis has so many slang terms and a bit of the culture of new ones coming about (and broccoli is mentioned). Kingsif (talk) 01:03, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am sure none of these sources are reliable enough for Zefr. I am very frustrated and (having other pressing problems in my life) will not pursue this further and take a long break from Wikipedia (at least until these problems have been resolved). I thank you very much, Kingsif, for your thoughts and your time, and I apologise for leaving it now, but I just can't. 91.64.36.101 (talk) 12:50, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
