necesito ir a (la) casa y cuidar a mi planta/mata de marihuana Explanation: that's the most common way of saying it - "planta de marihuana". But in some places (e.g. Colombia), "mata" is more common. More colloquially, planta/mata de maría, would be used. A plant you keep in a pot, in general terms, would be planta de interior. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2004-04-24 17:52:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.latinbusca.com/linkeos/de marihuana planta |

4 hrs confidence: 
necesito ir a casa y ocuparme de mi mata de marihuana Explanation: It might very well mean to go tend to it in the sense of picking off some leaves or pruning it, and then smoking them. By the way, the etymology of marihuna is more likely to be from the nahuatl. <<Desgraciadamente no existen muchas fuentes que exploren la etimología de este vocablo. Entre las pocas que hay, un manual de capacitación de los agentes mexicanos de la Procuraduría General de la República (30) asegura que la palabra marihuana proviene del náhuatl malihuana, palabra compuesta por mallin que quiere decir prisionero, hua que significa propiedad, y la terminación ana, coger, agarra, asir. Se supone que los indígenas al identificar a la planta con el nombre de malihuana, quisieron expresar que la planta se apodera del individuo. Los estadounidenses creen que marihuana es una contracción de los nombres propios María y Juana y la han convertido en marijuana.>> -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs 22 mins (2004-04-24 21:42:42 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- sorry, marihuana, not marihuna |
