Dank? Shwag? Kush? Skunk? Exact definitions please

The term Beasters historically refers to buds grown in large indoor ops in British Columbia, but has been adopted to mean different things in different places. Most times I hear it refer to middling quality chronic.

Beasters has always meant low quality, good looking compressed buds that are selling for the price of high quality buds to me.
 
Do you mean cocaine salts or freebase, Fluffykins? Because, not specific to any location, cocaine HCl laced bowls were called 'coco puffs' in my experience, and chronic was laced with freebase powder.
 
I live in Central TX, I went to school in upstate NY and I'm from So. Cal, so I've heard many different varieties of slang.

Dank - I rarely hear this outside Cali, except occasionally as an adjective meaning good or potent.

Shwag - the lowest quality weed around. Here in TX, shwag means Mexican brick weed, mostly. In the Northeast, "shwag" is still like $5-10 a gram and is just low end commercial stuff.

Kush is a strain, or rather a family of strains I suppose. The term originates from the Hindu Kush mountains, where the original genetics for that line supposedly originated.

Skunk - I've heard of people using this as a general term but I almost never hear it actually in use. It's also the name of a family of strains, most notably Skunk #1 and the various crossbreeds based on it.
 
Dank = moist fragrant seed free buds
Shwag= dryer green weed(average)
Kush= weed imported from indonesia, known in cali for its purple hairs (1 strain)
Skunk+ funky weed that actually smells skunky

definitely kush relates to the weed with origins from the indica varieties of the hindu kush mountain range afghanistan/pakistan
 
I'm from the north-east up in new england. It varies from where you go to but most of the time it goes as such :
*Headies- really good bud, top of the food chain, typically gives you a "head high". All of the well knows sttains such as kush, haze, skunk, sour diesel, ak, etc... will fall in this category
*Beasters- good buds/ nice nugget. Not out of your mind weed but certainly nothing wrong with it at all. Also a little cheaper than headdie strains. Has a nice appearance smells and smokes well, usually typically homegrown/ slightly more local but where someone knew what they were doing.
*Mids/ middies- cheap cheap cheap. Like you were all out of weed and this is all you could find. Could have big stems, often seeds. Brick weed would fall n this group, not buds, pretty dry and doesn't smell good nobody gets excited over it at all. Not a really pleasant smoke but better than no trees.
*Schwag-Shit. Brown, more stem and seed than actual pot. Usually dark brown and often pretty wet. I bet some 14 year old grew this shit. extremely low prices. Almost a waste of time cause it's so shitty and wouldn't want to dirty my bowl and still not end up high.

As far as other terms, Dro...nobody ever really says dro around here. If they were to say it they'd just say hydro which that just means it was hydroponically grown, not actually a class or strain of weed. Kids used to say that in middle school and that's about it.
Heard a lot of people throw around the word chronic back in the day, used to mean it was dusted with something. Then it just meant "yo this chronic is the bang bang mofucker" and then it just went away. I can't remember the last time I heard the term chronic actually around here.
Also terms like dank aren't ever how weed is referred to specifically. Some tool who thinks he's trying to sound cool may say "yo this is some dank ass shit right here" but even then dank is just a slang word for "good" or "potent". Then again nobody says dank around here anyways unless they're some lame asshole trying to sound gangsta. Skunk is just a strain of weed, it's not a classification like headdies. Just because it smells strong does not mean it is a skunk plant. I'm missing a lot but this is already really long, and nobody's gonna read through it anyways.
 
Man.... I am such a product of the seventies

Lumbo- For your basic seedy colombian

Lumbo Gold- Same shit maybe a little brighter

Panama Red-- To me another shade of the same shit

HY-- Grown on the Hawaiian Islands the primo of the day, hard to get

Thai Stick and Thai weed-- Still dark

...and then came...drum roll....

Sense-- For the sensimilla and that changed everything forever

I remember the good green and red for the first time and our contemplating whether we really wanted to pay the price for it ( looking back now, it was cheap by todays numbers)
...Glad we did and it was all we wanted after that. The rest is history, most of which I do not remember.......
 
This is definitions for South Dakota. Swag is the cheapest. Most the time shit. But sometimes pretty good. Mids is good sometimes. Brick sometimes. but i have had swag thats better. Beasters is what we describe as being in between mids and nug. Dank is what we describe as bein the best. Kush has a distinct smell to it and is fluffy. Always bomb shit. My favorit. Skunk. if it smells like one then its skunk.
 
Shwag is the shittiest of the shitty

Bud is just generic weed, it'll get you high, but not mangled

Kush, around here, is just what we call marijuana e.g. ''got any kush?'' ''who has kush?''

Dank usually means some amazing weed, itll get you nice and toasty

Chronic is the shit you fill blunts with on your birthday, youll leave the earth for a bit
 
Generally for ME and my friends we use the terms:

Stress/streezy = Shit weed basically, stems, seeds, brown/DARK green, no trichomes(kief), you get the point.

Shwag = same thing as ^

Mids = same thing as ^ but little better.

High Grade = a term thats used so that we think the weed's good but they're basically still shit

Hydro = It's suppose to be good weed with bright green colors with no stems/seeds, orange hairs and trichomes, but in all honesty it just means weed grown underwater.

Chronic = it can be kush, or just hydro, just a term to say its the top notch weed.

Kush = Fucking bomb weed, these usually have the names.

You can grow weed underwater?
 
From South Dakota...

Dank- Any above mid-grade buds, i suppose. But, since colorado blew up the ganja game, i think we need a new term for the grade a+++ stuff.

Schwag- Anything below mids, if its sticky you might not want to smoke it. (heard stories of soda, urine, and etc... getting dumped on it to make it weigh more and to give a sticky appeal)

Kush- Strain

Skunk- Strain
 
Dank - Potent weed
Schwag - Low quality/brick weed, can also mean how weed looks, as it can look "schwaggy" but be nice weed
Kush - An Indica strain
Skunk - An Indica strain with many related strains
 
I'm willing to bet that there were/are certain types of marijuana being called "skunk" way before any kind of specific strain was found/created. Generally, indica-dominant weed from anywhere that has a funky smell has been called "skunk".

Skunk- Strain

what makes it sticky is when grown, spacificaly when flowering, there is low humidity witch cause's sap and resin to exscret to the out side of th plant coating it w/ kristls and the for-said resin/sap that is sticky

where did u here this stuff about piss and soada? my mom pissed on a dubby on acceden at a freedom feastval , it was the rest of what they had so she dried it out and my dad hits it. his respons was "damn this tast like some good columbian....sory to get off topyc, but thats sum funny shit8o8)
