Note
Only the countable meanings of herb take a plural: kitchen herbs, medicinal herbs, the botanist's non-woody plants, and American slang for an uncool person. Cannabis and the obsolete sense of grass are mass nouns, so the slang for cannabis is herb, not herbs. The h is silent in most American speech and sounded in British, but it is always pronounced in the slang insult.
