Mexican here... What about the spanish word marihuana or mariguana? That's how people call it here because... Well that's the common name of the plant.
Is marijuana a wordplay on the very common mexicans names María (Mary in short) and Juana (a common female name at the times you seem to be making a reference) to make it appear more "mexican"?
