There are thousands of ways of referring to marijuana, typically on the sly…what are the funniest/cleverest ones you have heard or used, in the past, of course*?
Two that I remember:
A friend told me that his supplier at work would let everyone know that his “uncle”…Uncle Herb that is, was coming or had paid him a visit.
Another friend used to say “I got the Mott’s”
*Discussion of current use is against the rules…cannabis is still illegal for the most part in the US.
In college, we drew a distinction between “cryp” (i.e. the high quality strains that were fully of crystals and purple hairs, and had no seeds or stems) and “regs” (i.e. the old fashioned stuff that had to be broken apart so you could remove the stems and seeds). Cryp was preferred (and thus more expensive), but regs were good for rolling joints.
To inquire abought the availability, people would call my neighbor and ask him if “Reggie” or his cousin “Katie” were home. If they were, then he’d ask when you wanted to see them. Quarter 'till, half past, et al were requests for amounts (expressed in ounces).
In my previous life (20+ years ago) my then-boyfriend used to sell weed. When he had some he would call up his “friends” and say that “Bob” was here, did they want to come over for “coffee”?
SWIM uses a code based around pizza. A whole pizza is an ounce. “Just a slice” is whatever smallest weight is available (1/8 ounce or gram). A whole pizza with everything is an ounce of whatever best strain is available.
I am SO OLD, I remember buying a “lid” of “grass.”
“Medicine”
it works bc I’m old.
