“Ganja” is a word with roots in the Sanskrit language, where it was originally used to refer to cannabis. 

The origin of the word Ganja

Via India and later Jamaican culture, the term spread globally, especially through the Rastafari movement and reggae music. Today, “ganja” is one of the most well-known international slang terms for cannabis and is used in music, pop culture, and everyday language. The word therefore has both a linguistic and cultural dimension associated with cannabis terminology.
