Show Caption Hide Caption How it's made: Legal weed in Colorado, from seed to sale to smoke Got two minutes? Here's a quick explanation of legal weed and how it's made, from joints to edibles, from seed to sale to smoke.

Don't talk about "mowing the lawn" in public, or the Drug Enforcement Administration might get suspicious.

You also may want to stay away from "churros" or "Lucas," "Mary Jane," "Mary Weaver," "Barbara Jean" and your "Aunt Mary."

And it's no wonder Monty Python devoted a whole movie to the "holy grail."

But we're not talking about movies, people, desserts or routine property maintenance. According to the DEA, these are all slang terms or code words for marijuana.

While attempts to bring legal weed to New Jersey have stalled out for now, the DEA on Wednesday declassified its most recent intelligence report, first introduced last year as a way to give police officers all the information they might need to recognize when suspects are discussing illegal drugs.

Of course, the dossier also covers marijuana and includes over 350 names for the drug.

The drug has been known by nicknames for as long as most users can remember, referred to as "weed" or "pot" more often than "cannabis," the name of the actual plant. The DEA has caught onto those names over the years, as well as "herb," "grass" and "reefer."

Watch the video at the top of this page to see how the cannabis plant is turned into legal weed, including raw flower, concentrates and edibles.

Some of the DEA'S slang terms come from scientific names, such as "terps" (referring to the plant's terpenes or terpenoids). Others are popular strain names, such as "Girl Scout Cookies" or "Tahoe," or methods of consuming marijuana, like "spliff" or "puff."
