Cannibis Potency

• Death Weed refers to extremely potent Cannabis. This term walks the thin line between having its own distinct meaning in trade jargon and being a slang term for stuff thats even more killer than The Kill.
• The Kill also refers to highly potent Cannabis, though not necessarily as potent as The Death Weed.
• Chronic refers to Cannabis which is highly potent but not unusually so. In other words, the highest quality one can find on a semi-regular basis for roughly the same cost as mid-grade Cannabis. In many regional jargons this term is given a more specific meaning, however these are far too numerous to list here.
• Bud simply refers to the buds of the Cannabis plant. Bud may be high or low quality depending on several factors. Contrary to popular belief, marijuana leaves are usually not smoked (unless covered in resin from nearby buds, though such leaves are usually used for hashish production), rather it is actually the buds which are smoked. The buds of unpollinated female plants are preferred because these plants will focus their energy on resin production in order to catch pollen from the male plants (this resin is the only part of the plant which contains any usuable quantities of psychoactive chemicals).
• Shake is specifically the debri that shakes loose from brick or bagged marijuana. While it can have high potency, it is generaly considered less desireable as its dust-like properties make it difficult to smoke.
• Kind (a.k.a. kind bud or simply kb) refers to sinsemilla (from Spanish, meaning without seed) marijuana, i.e. unpollinated female marijuana plants. This is an important distinction between high-quality marijuana and schwag because schwag (also referred to as commercial weed or more often simply merch (pronounced mersh)) is almost always pollinated female marijuana and can be easily recognized by the many seeds present in the bud (or loose in the bag, see bagseed). Pollination is chiefly responsible for the lowering of potency because of reduced resin production, though genetics and post-harvest methods play a small role. All highly potent marijuana is kind, though not all kind is necessarily highly potent.
• Schwag refers to low-quality bud. Often dry and brownish in color rather than lush and green (however, looks can be deceiving). This is also called brown frown.
• Dirt Weed often refers to brown, withered looking buds which are usually impotent, although potent dirt weed is not completely unheard of. This term is seldom used synonymously with outdoor (see below).
• Dank often very good nuggets, normally flourescent green with protruding white crystals, smells like skunk.
