**Devil**
The term #0excludeGlossary in cannabis circles often conjures images of #1excludeGlossary strains that deliver an intense experience. But where did this intriguing term originate? The etymology of #2excludeGlossary can be traced back to the Greek “diabolos,” which means “slanderer” or “accuser.” This was later Latinized to #6excludeGlossary and eventually morphed into the Old English “deofol.” Historically, “Devil” has been associated with malevolent forces, but in the cannabis community, it’s all about the thrill of a powerful high. As the cannabis industry continues to innovate, “Devil” strains are celebrated for their ability to provide a memorable and potent experience. For those in the know, the “Devil” is not something to fear but rather a testament to the evolving landscape of cannabis culture. So, if you’re looking to expand your cannabis knowledge, understanding the “Devil” is a great place to start. [Source: Britannica, Etymonline]

Devil (Wikipedia)

A devil is the mythical personification of evil as it is conceived in various cultures and religious traditions. It is seen as the objectification of a hostile and destructive force. Jeffrey Burton Russell states that the different conceptions of the devil can be summed up as 1) a principle of evil independent from God, 2) an aspect of God, 3) a created being turning evil (a fallen angel) or 4) a symbol of human evil.

Each tradition, culture, and religion with a devil in its mythos offers a different lens on manifestations of evil. The history of these perspectives intertwines with theology, mythology, psychiatry, art, and literature, developing independently within each of the traditions. It occurs historically in many contexts and cultures, and is given many different names—Satan (Judaism), Lucifer (Christianity), Beelzebub (Judeo-Christian), Mephistopheles (German), Iblis (Islam)—and attributes: it is portrayed as blue, black, or red; it is portrayed as having horns on its head, and without horns, and so on.
