Millions of people in the U.S. report using marijuana daily or nearly every day, and those people now outnumber those who say they are daily or nearly-daily drinkers of alcohol.
It does show a lack of understanding, but I don’t expect better of them because that’s something that, in general, has been lost to history. It’s just not widely known. Plenty of regular cannabis users still call it marijuana.
I have a vague memory of a comedian (Kevin Meaney maybe) talking about his dad asking him if he was “smoking the pot” whenever he said something his dad didn’t understand.
I agree with you about it being a propaganda word, but you really should trust the Associated Press as a source.

My mother caught me high as fuck when I was ~16yo and asked me, “Have you been smoking the pot?”
The pot.
I laughed so hard it was impossible to lie that I wasn’t high.
