cannophobia 

An irrational fear of cannabis that was mostly caused by traumatic memories which could be results of many years of prohibition. As an illegal drug, cannabis was closely related to shady characters selling all range of drugs, who considered "converting" cannabis users to harder drugs (i.e. amphetamine, cocaine) profitable.

This is also the source of "gateway theory", which states that smoking cannabis leads to harder drugs usage.

Someone Else: Give up, mate, your dad is a total cannophobe. Now pass that joint...

Someone Else: He has a bad case of cannophobia. Will you pass it or not?

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
