Marijuana is no more spanish than "nacho" or "chimichanga." Its exact etymology is unclear, but most people think it's either a combination of two common Mexican names (Maria and Juana) or the word "mariguano" which means intoxicant.
But surf and smoke is right, marijuana is pretty much as universal as Coca-cola, bomb, and pussy. Says something about us, eh?
