Crossword Genius

Criticism of marijuana’s very fashionable (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

potshot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'criticism' is the definition.
(potshot is a kind of criticism)

'marijuana's very fashionable' is the wordplay.
'marijuana's' becomes 'pots' ('pot' can be a synonym of 'marijuana').
'very fashionable' becomes 'hot' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'very' bit.**).
'pots'+'hot'='POTSHOT'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for potshot that I've seen before include "Pop" , "random criticism" , "Unfounded criticism" .)
