MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY

WINNIPEG -- In response to the Canadian Medical Association's
recommendation that doctors refuse to participate in Health Minister Anne
McLellan's madcap distribution scheme for medical marijuana, Paul Sullivan
wrote: "They're freaked out over dealing a little boo?"

I have heard marijuana referred to as hoots, toots, joints, smoke, weed,
pot, grass, dope, ganja and spliff.

I thought that the word boo meant heroin.
