"A misspelling of hierba Buena, or 'good herb' in Spanish. A marijuana reference."
Not quite. Yerba is indeed an alternative spelling of hierba in parts of Latin America, but yerbabuena or hierbabuena is actually mint. If you're looking to get high when you buy "hierbabuena" chewing-gum in Mexico, you're going to be disappointed :-) -- Infrogmation
Well technically it means spearmint, but it is still sometimes used as slang for marijuana in mexico, i don't know if this is an english translation import or comes from rather obvious connotation of its literal meaning. --DarkfredTalk to me 23:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
LOL... Yes, Yerbabuena doesn't have anything to do with marijuana. "Yerba" is an alternate spelling of "hierba" (formal spelling) in Spanish, meaning "herb". Yerbabuena or hierbabuena refers usually to those mints in latin countries but "buena" ("good") refers to their medicinal properties. It's possible, yes, tha some gangs use the word yerbabuena as an euphemism for marijuana but that would be a very isolated phenomenon with no documented proof. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.31.24.113 (talk) 15:15, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
