me, I absolutely hate"doobee", "pot", "grass" and the word itself, "marijuana", invented to pit our opinion against our mexican neighbors, and surely it was a success; everyone I know uses different words, I never hear "marijuana, pot, or doobee" ever. they all sound like the terms you'd find in their official list" I don't know if you guys are from the SF bay ( I am ) but we have are own slang for weed terms "bomb, "mokie" (meaning half tobacco, half weed" , "keyed" or "dumb"(for being high), "pack it" meaning "fill the bowl tightly" and "chewys" For cocaine infused snaps (That might be in other places, correct me if I'm wrong")

It's not "Hekka", it's "Hella". but you just don't understand it. if you're from the Urban bay (as in the south, and Peninsula and East bay) it's ingrained in your speech the way Canadians say "eh" or Southerners say "y'all" and it's used as a quantifyer for measurement "those beezies hella pack the stunners" or as an intensifyer "HELLA gay".Well it's from the HYPHY movement.
eh, did I mention we also have "Mokie" for tobacco/weed snap, and "Twomp" for any sack that cost 20 bucks?

I agree 'dro' is a dumb term. One of my friends' kid used it describe some bud she hooked me up with. I had asked her for a good hybrid that didn't induce too much anxiety I didn't want to put my newbie friends in paranoia land or couch lock all night and when she showed up I asked what it was and she said 'Dro.' I looked at her and handed her the quarter back and said, 'Talk to your man and find out the strain.' She called me back to tell me it was Orange Crush Medical strain, then I agred to buy it.
Having come from old school (late 80's -mid 90's) I really hated the evolution of the terms once I went from 'kid stoner' to 'conniseur.' It was really irritating to try and ask a dealer the strain and get 'mids', 'dank', 'hydro' and eventually 'dro.' I still don't respect any of those terms. My favoriate current strains are WW, AK47, and Belladonna when I can find someone with them (I really should just grow.)
I agree that mexi-bag seed can produce some pretty good stuff when grown at home, but I'd rather just order seeds and know what I'm getting. Home grown mystery weed, while good to smoke, just doesn't lend much to conversations beyond, 'This is good shit' etc. It's so much more fun to say, 'The AK is great for going out clubbing and being crazy social while the Northern Lights are great for chilling out and watching a movie or just passing out.' And the first smoke is hit or miss as far as what state you want to be in. I'd hate to go out clubbing and halfway through the night smoke a heavy indica and get tired, or plan for a night in watching comedy shows and smoke a strong sativa leaving me bouncy and playful when we planned to chill. Sure I can separate it (not like it won't get smoked) but it's just easier to know in advance that what your smoking is going to have the desired effects.
Other words that irritate the hell out of me.
"Axe": Usage: "I gunna axe you sumtin?"
Reaction: Go the fuck back to school and learn to read you ignorant ass.
"Pimpin": Usage: "I was pimpin dat shit at the game last night."
Reaction: "Really? I thought you were playing football, not selling girls on the street."
"Lawl" aka LOL: Usage, "I lawled at that."
Reaction: "I'll drive out to the other side of town so you can text me if that's what you fuckin want."
"Crib" Usage: "I'm heading back to the crib dawg."
Reaction; Using language like that you belong in a crib, with bug netting and baby guards in place.
"da" Usage: "I'm headin back to da hood."
Reaction: in the old days only brain dead idoits said "duh."
Any racial sterotyping slang used in any direction ...
Usage: "Me and my nigga's were chiilin in da hood de odder night."
Reaction: First of all it SHOULD be 'My nigga's and I were chillin in da hood de udder night.' Second of all udder is something that cows milk comes out of, not a substitute word for 'OTHER.' Third if a black guy heard you say that he'd probably kick your ass into next month, you're white you idiot.
See: "Spic" "chink" "cracker" etc. .. all the same damned ignorance IMO.
'Digits'
Usage: 'Lemme score your digits.'
Reaction: WTF happened to 'phone number' she might give you her social security number idiot.
Finally 'Ho's"
Usage: I'm gunna get some mad ho's tonight.
Reaction: Panty Hoes, Water Hoes, or a Garden Hoe? I'm confused.
I simply don't understand the lazieness involved in using improper grammar. I'll admit I'm not always grammatically exacting, but I'm generally better than most people I see writing... See I used THAN not THEN!!!

Firstly, I have to second the 'dro' movement, that word can rot in the dirt along with 'shwag'
I'm guilty of calling a quarter pound a 'cupid' - But I like the sound of it, and it originated as a term used on the phone so anyone nearby listening in couldn't be sure what you're talking about <- of paranoid decent I guess
I also dislike the term Marijuana (or Marihuana) as this term was introduced as a means of confusing the public and tricking them into making Cannabis and Hemp illegal as they were told it was completely different to Marijuana, Marijuana being worse than Heroin of course??? ... Due to the lack of means to communicate over a large area of peoples without media/press connections at the time, Marijuana aka Cannabis was made illegal before people were informed that Marijuana, Cannabis and Hemp were all the same plant, and are all now illegal! Fukn lies paid for by alcohol and oil tycoon's, backed by an either greedy and/or ignorant government. Pisses me off. <-- Oh, that's the quick/basic version of the story
lol
I have to second the Kush movement also, I've never grown Kush, I'm not a big Indica fan, and I'm sure it's got all the characteristics that all Indica strains share. Nothing new or special in my opinion. I only noticed it getting popular when rappers were going on about it, which says a lot considering I heard people rapping about it and I almost never listen to rap/hip-hop unless someone else is playing it and I just happen to be able to hear it!!!
I say bring back the Sativas!!! - They're getting bred out by Indica dominant Commercial Strains, so sad, most people have never even tried the rocket ride that is the Sativa High!!!
RetiredToker76 - Your post makes me LAWLS ... Oh, wait, it's LAWLZ with a Z is it? Oh who cares. There's too much stupid slang out there to keep up with these days. I'm guilty of using some of it, but I'm white so I stay away from terms like 'niggaz' ... Also I don't listen to hip-hop/rap music so I really don't pick up on a lot of these new terms when they are made up so that they fit into a fucking rhyme <- Previously known as a poem!!!
Some of my not so close mates laugh at my lack of 'up to date' slang, saying that I should get with the times. I just say I'd rather come across as ignorant to the ignorant than actually be ignorant. That usually confuses them enough

Well in the bay area, it's different.
Like, a white guy would probably get his ass kicked for using "nigga" (well, even then it depends on the circle of friends, some blacks are cool with their white frends using those words--yes, alot of blacks have white friends here), but mostly, people often forget that, just like in a city like New York, where it becomes so big, their own accents develop for the different boroughs? People forget that too--in the bay area, alot of the working class people (of which their are alot, both black and white) grew up with white rappers like woodie, who was accepted amongst the rifa and the other rappers, like Mac Dre who rapped with alot of white people.
I guess I'm just trying to say that, in the bay, race doesn't define who you are and the way you talk as much as class does...so you'll see upper class blacks who speak with NO accent, and lower class whites who speak with "inner city english"--it's just the way I see it, growing up in SF.

'Dro' is without a doubt my biggest pet peeve to hear.
I would piss off every dealer. They'd ask me "You want some dro?" and I would say "Can you show me the hydroponics setup to prove it's dro?" and they go "HydroWHUT?" at which point I say "No sale. Seeya."
The moment you have to genericize something like that you utterly fail in my book.

"burnout" is one that I've heard a lot, especially from non-smokers
who think it's derogatory. I guess it was that 70's show...

Yeah I have a problem with that one, along with "In God We Trust" and "One Nation Under God". I just love how people tend to think those have been around since the founding of this country.

There's decent evidence that some of the founding fathers were atheists.... most people don't know that either. They also don't know that even though some of those who wrote up the constitution were very Christian people, the document was written in proper secular terms... to exclude religion as a doctrine that rules a country....
