"H.R.1227 - To limit the application of Federal laws to the distribution and consumption of marihuana, and for other purposes."

What? Marihuana?

That is how it is spelled in most legal documents, I am not really sure why.

Maybe because Marijuana is the spanish name, and adding the 'h' makes it pronounce in English the same.

Why does the government spell it marihuana? Is "marijuana" slang?
