While marijuana culture and slang terms can\u2019t be scientifically proven, the answer must be \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Marijuana Culture<\/h2>\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s because the use of weed had to be hidden for so many years. Or maybe it\u2019s because people just like using slang. Whatever the case, a whole language has developed around cannabis culture.<\/p>\n<p>Some of it is a holdout from the days when marijuana was illegal for any reason. With <a href=\"http:\/\/www.governing.com\/gov-data\/state-marijuana-laws-map-medical-recreational.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">29 states<\/a> now making it legal for either recreational or medical use, that\u2019s no longer the case. But the slang remains.<\/p>\n<p>It extends beyond just the name of the plant, but that\u2019s where we\u2019ll start.<\/p>\n<h3>A Rose By Any Other Name<\/h3>\n<p>Ask anyone who has ever used marijuana and they will tell you the group they hung out with had a special name for it. Some people rolled a \u201cspliff,\u201d others rolled a \u201cjoint.\u201d Some people \u201croll a number.\u201d Some make a \u201cblunt\u201d or a \u201cdoobie.\u201d All the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, once your burn one of those, you are \u201chigh\u201d or \u201cstoned.\u201d \u00a0But you don\u2019t have to say you\u2019re high or stoned. You can say you\u2019re blitzed. Blazed. Bouldered. Baked. And that\u2019s just the \u201cBs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for marijuana itself \u2013 it\u2019s seemingly endless. In this article alone it\u2019s already been called marijuana, cannabis and weed. More slang terms include Mary Jane and ganja. But that\u2019s just scratching the surface.<\/p>\n<p>Chances are you have heard, or will hear, the following slang terms that stand in for simply saying \u201cmarijuana.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bud<\/li>\n<li>Green<\/li>\n<li>Grass<\/li>\n<li>Herb<\/li>\n<li>Laughing Grass<\/li>\n<li>Nug<\/li>\n<li>Chronic<\/li>\n<li>Pakalolo<\/li>\n<li>Reefer<\/li>\n<li>The Good<\/li>\n<li>Pot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And in parts of the Deep South you might even hear it called \u201cWacky Tobaccy,\u201d although not necessarily by someone who actually uses marijuana.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Slang<\/h3>\n<p>Then, there are the many terms around marijuana usage that have entered the marijuana culture lexicon. However, again, the terms that are used can depend on the region of the country where you live.<\/p>\n<p><strong>420. <\/strong>The date (April 20<sup>th<\/sup>) of many cannabis-related events in honor of the supposed time that a group of Californians met (4:20 pm) after school while searching for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dispensaries.com\/blog\/history-significance-420\/\">a hidden area<\/a> where cannabis was being grown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cannivore<\/strong>. A person who prefers to eat cannabis-infused edibles rather than smoke it in the \u201ctraditional\u201d way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diesel.<\/strong> A very pungent strain of marijuana. Not only is the odor powerful, but the effects from Diesel are typically fairly powerful, too. So, consider it a warning if someone offers you some.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Florist<\/strong>. Old school term for a marijuana dealer. Can still apply to today\u2019s legal dispensaries if you are talking about it around someone who you don\u2019t want to know what you are doing. \u201cHey, let\u2019s drop by the florist on the way to the grocery store.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zip<\/strong>. An ounce of marijuana.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s enough for one day \u2013 people can only remember so many new words at once. But it gives you something to think about next time you are around people and using marijuana.<\/p>\n<p>Or Wacky Tobaccy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within marijuana culture, the terms for pot are abundant.
