Seeing as how it arose in the 30s when using non-English terms to refer to the stuff was a common theme, could not "pot" also just be short for "potpourri"? It is interesting to note that even if this is the case, the "pot" part is _still_ a reference to an actual pot :) Marijuana is dried flowers.
