Weed Slang

That good weed. Bomb weed is weed that gets you high to the point that you feel like you’re going to explode. Although that might seem risky to non-consumers, true stoners know that this is a good thing.

Any particularly high-quality weed. While Chronic is the name of a specific (and legendary) hybrid strain, the term bomb chron generally tends to refer to anything better than what you usually smoke. Bomb chron is ideally lush in color, fresh-smelling, and covered in trichomes. It’s always disappointing when someone tells you they’ve got bomb chron, but it turns out what they have is no better than ditch weed.

A traditional Indian preparation of cannabis that is often made into intoxicating food and drink. Bhang is culturally significant to Hindu spiritual culture, and it is an important part of the Holi festival when bhang-laden chutneys and lassis are sold in celebration. It also has a place in the medicinal culture of India, as it’s believed to assist with digestion and sleep. Because of this, cannabis is legal but regulated in India and people can purchase bhang at government-licensed shops.

When California teens in the 1970s needed a covert way of discussing their after-school plans, they used their meeting place and time as shorthand to avoid suspicion. Eventually, they shortened the phrase to just the time they would often meet after track practice, 4:20 pm. Soon after that, they used the number 420 as code for getting high. To this day, 420 has a major place in cannabis culture, and while it’s not much of a code word anymore, it’s a quick way to get your point across. April 20th is now an unofficial holiday for most users, and chances are if you’re smoking with a group of buddies around 4:20 pm, one of them will point out the clock when it rolls around.

One who studies the science of smoking, growing, and/or being around cannabis and marijuana culture. A weedologist wants to understand the who, what, where, when, and why of every aspect of weed. Before legalization, this job was more of a fun joke, but now there are real cannabis scientists who could claim the title.

A phrase meaning the act of rolling up a joint that is popular in London and the United Kingdom. It is a reference to the word skins, a common term for papers over the pond. Though originally the term was used as a verb to roll up, it is not mostly used concerning rolling marijuana into a joint or pinner.

The state of being so high on cannabis from smoking, vaping, or ingesting it that you could be considered inebriated. Staring open-mouthed at the TV without interacting with the outside world for hours, eating handfuls of dry cereal without thinking about it, and laughing maniacally at something that isn’t very funny are all activities common of someone who is wrecked.

To consume cannabis. The etymology of this word, like most in cannabis culture, is difficult to determine with total certainty. However, it likely comes from the spanish verb “tocar,” which roughly translates to “touch” or “tap.” Toking tends to imply that a small amount of herb is being used, but some stoners like to use it ironically to describe long, drawn-out smoke sessions.
