Cannabis culture comes with its own language. Whether you're new to the scene or a longtime enthusiast, our glossary breaks down the terms, slang, and lingo you need to know.
noun
The international holiday that celebrates the consumption and appreciation of cannabis. Originating in 1970s California among a group of high schoolers known as 'the Waldos,' April 20th (4/20) has become the most recognized date in cannabis culture. Whether it's a quiet session or a massive public gathering, 420 is the day stoners worldwide unite.
noun
The second stoner holiday. Flip 710 upside down and you get OIL — making July 10th the official day of cannabis concentrates. While 420 is for flower lovers, 710 celebrates dabs, live resin, shatter, and everything extracted.
noun & verb
The act of consuming cannabis through a dab rig using a small amount of concentrate. A butane torch heats a nail or banger to high temperatures, the concentrate is applied, and the resulting vapor is inhaled. Dabbing delivers intense, fast-acting effects and is popular among experienced consumers.
adjective
Used to describe cannabis flower that is dark, sticky, crystal-coated, and super potent. If someone calls your weed 'dank,' that's the highest compliment. It means the buds are top-shelf, covered in trichomes, and pack a serious punch.
noun
A tongue-in-cheek nickname for cannabis that originated from 1930s prohibition-era propaganda. Once used to demonize the plant, it's now been reclaimed by the cannabis community as a humorous, ironic term of endearment.
noun
A uniquely Ontario term for 3.5 grams of cannabis — what the rest of North America calls an 'eighth.' Only in Ontario will you hear someone ask for a 'half quarter.' It's one of those regional quirks that instantly identifies you as a true Ontario cannabis consumer.
noun
A super-concentrated cannabis extract with a liquid, syrupy consistency. High in terpene content, sauce delivers an incredibly flavorful and aromatic experience. It's one of the most sought-after concentrate formats for its taste and potency.
noun
Shorthand for terpenes — the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinctive smell and flavor. When someone says a product is 'terpy,' they mean it's rich in terpenes with a bold, flavorful profile.
noun
A cone-shaped joint rolled using the tobacco leaf wrapper from Backwoods brand cigars. The tobacco leaf adds a distinct flavor and slow burn. Rolling a proper Backwood is considered an art form in cannabis culture.
