The juvenile names of cannabis strains are becoming risable, and reflect badly

[themanwiththeplan]

With Marijuana prohibition I think the least of our worries is what we name the strains. I don't see crowds of protesters outside of bars demanding that Sex On The Beach, Slippery Bald Beaver, Bend Over Shirley, Butt Sex, The Leg Spreader, Slippery Nipple, etc., etc., ad nauseum, be taken off the menu or have their names changed. Like the old saying goes, "why sweat the small stuff when it's the big shit that kills you." (I'm paraphrasing but you get the idea).

My thoughts exactly. Are some of the names (alcohol and mj) stupid, offensive or flat out don't make any kind of sense? Sure.

Is that REALLY the problem? of course not.

if changing strain names was all it took i think it would have happened LONG ago.

 

[Shannon Alexander]

I like some of the fucked up names...

 

[jammin screw]

You know what if people got mistaken Buddha cheese for booty cheese lol.... WTF is that Margaret? I don't want no fuckin booty cheese...

 

[Finshaggy]

I think for terms of public relations and in order to better reflect on the maturity, seriousness, and love that most cannabis growers pour into their art, I think it's about time we stop naming our strains such stupid names.

An American public already easily swayed by buzzwords will never see a plant with strain varieties like "Buddha Cheese" (as a Buddhist, I'm left clueless as to Gautama's relation to "cheese") or "Matanuska Thunderfuck" or "Green Crack" as legitimate. afterall, does that sound like something you'd want to be legal if you had no idea what it was? "Green Crack"? "Thunderfuck"?

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Buddha is just itself a term for MJ, as it is enlightening and peaceful. Cheese is genetics.

Thunderfuck IS FROM THE 70's!!!!!!!
So.... ...

Green Crack, agreed. But America is on meth, what do you expect?

 

[jammin screw]

Lol@ America is on meth...I don't think u lyin on that bro....

 

[rowlman]

Lol@ America is on meth...I don't think u lyin on that bro....

If they could just give these meth heads some dental insurance, America wouldn't look so bad...JK
...I grow LSD...nothing against LSD, but that was the 1st strain name that got to me.And green crack. but they're just names,so I think it's harmless.
but if some overhears you say you have LSD and Green Crack, and aren't familar with strain names,they may get the wrong impression I guess.

....so is Nana's Diaper a bad idea for my new stinky buds name??

 

[resinousflowers]

I hate hearing the strain cheese nust makes weed seem nasty

Anyhow the names i think reflect no harm to the community

why?many ppl like cheese.i like a extra strong mature cheddar.i dont associate the word cheese to the word nasty,unless the cheese is dairylea.plus the strain cheese has a cheesy taste,so it makes sense to call it cheese.what else could you call it?

 

[ComeupKid]

im left wondering why alot of things are called a certain name. iv had green crack, watched it grow, and i guess it got me wired....but i dunno what smoking crack is like, so maybe it got me as wired as smoking crack would....im not willing to smoke crack to make the comparison.

but its hard to tell how accurate names of weed are, its nearly impossible when copping from a dealer, and its still even pretty hard to tell from a dispensary. for example iv had Lambs Bread several times over the years, and it all has the same characteristics, extremely frosted, almost pungent smell, a different flower formation than your normal nugs. but the other day my friend brought over some "lambs bread" that didnt have any of the characteristics of any Lambs Bread iv ever had. but no matter what i told him he would retort "i got it from the club, thats what it was called" so i dunno...i dont look too into names.....but i know that wasnt lambs bread LOL

The fact of the matter is that it does indeed reflect poorly on the recreational community, and makes the medicinal community look like a complete farce when people can buy medicine named green crack.

that's not a fact that's your opinion and nothing more.

"Buddha Cheese" (as a Buddhist, I'm left clueless as to Gautama's relation to "cheese")

The strain name is not Buddha Cheese, it's Big Buddha Cheese. Big Buddha Seeds is the company name. There are a lot of Cheese strains out there but Big Buddha has, what a lot of people consider to be, the best (and possibly the original?). So when someone has Cheese they tend to want others to know that they have the best and they'll refer to it as Big Buddha Cheese, but then we're lazy stoners that tend to just eliminate the Big and instead just say Buddha Cheese.

Herpie Infested Crack Whore Kush....it's got kinda stinky,and not good for medables, but gets the job done.

 

[jamboss]

So you prefer some scientific name for a drug that side effects are a mile long than a cool name for something with virtually no bad side effects. Get the fuck outta here OP and crew.

 

[Perfextionist420]

According to a friend Chernobyl is one of the strongest strains out there and I love the crazy names as long as they are legit. I'm a huge fan of the grape ape and the name just makes me laugh

 

[jamboss]

I really like the whole cheese class of herb the name cheese for weed is genius.

 

[Finshaggy]

Agreed.

Everyone knows that all walks of life smoke weed, and it is getting more publicly obvious as we get more dispensaries and stuff

Like some wigger ass white dude probably named it Green Crack...

If you don't like it, pick another breeder, and boycott that guy...

Like I don't know what else to tell you...



Was "Skunk" a better name? That's what ALL good weed was called for a couple generations here...
THIS is what it makes me think of...

 

[TrichomeTrent]

that's not a fact that's your opinion and nothing more.

Not accurate actually, considering alot of the negative publicity name drops strains like green crack, further promoting negative publicity. Usually i dont mind the crazy names people come up with but when they liken it to hard drugs its just a little excessive.

 

[cannabineer]

I think anyone that can produce their own strain has the right to name it whatever they want. If you don't like or feel you're too mature to smoke it, then don't. The rest of us will smoke the hell out of that shit. We have the added bonus of giggling our asses off over the funny ass names. I want to look someone in the eye when they ask what I'm smoking and proudly proclaim, "I'm smoking Matanuska Thunderfuck, bitches!"

I wonder if they'll ever name a strain Cock. cn

Again, I doubt the publicity is any more negative than it has been since the 20's...

Reefer madness made it looks WAYYY worse, and so did calling it things like "Skunk"...

I don't think "Green Crack" is any worse a name than "Cat Piss" and "Cat Piss" is no worse a name than "Skunk". Skunk just SEEMS normal now. Just like "Cat Piss" will in 10 years...
