"Mary Jane Superweed" was a pseudonym that appeared over a variety of pot-growing manuals in the late Sixties and early Seventies; it has been attributed by one contemporary to a Bay Area cannabis researcher named Djanandruan Baba (also clearly a pseudonym, assuming the attribution is even accurate – it appears nowhere else).
