You tellin me you don't have purple buds, or hairy buds, or bubblegum buds, or popcorny/fluffy buds. You don't have chronic, hydro, or bubonic chronic. No kind nugs, bearclaw buds, nugglets or Mauwi Wawi in Australia???
Man it must suck over there.
You do have a point, maybe we americans classify weed too much, I think you can simplify it into a few catagories like good/bad, fluffy/sticky and green/brown colors/hairs/glands.
But it is so much damn fun classifying them!
I'm gonna smoke some fluffy, pine nugs out of Wesley Pipes now...

Well i've had weed over here that i'd describe as 'hairy', 'popcorn/fluffy buds' hydro etc but these all boil down to two things for us aussies - hydro/bush and/or sativa/indica. Bush buds tend to be more leafy and fluffy whereas hydro is generally more 'hairy' and 'chronic'. Most of these are just descriptive words rather than strains, though I will admit that there are many other strains such as Maui Waui, White Widow etc. on other continents. Nugs and shit just refers to the bud right? So yeah we get that, not all the exotic strains available elsewhere but it seems you guys just have more nomenclature for them. I mainly refer to my buds as sativa/indica or bush/hydro. Peace

Re: Re: Annoyed Stoner Rant
I think you're the fucking tosser.
If you actually knew anything about weed, you would actually find out that skunk is actually a strain (or several strains) of cannabis.
Several skunk strains include:
Super Skunk
Skunk #1
Ultra Skunk
Skunk Special
etc.
Skunk #1.

yeah skunk is just a strain. The dude I get my shit from has skunk mixed with some other strains. That is why my mom asks a couple times a week "why does the house smell like a skunk"

What is Skunk? A definition.
definition:
Introduction
I remember someone applying the word 'Skunk' to something I was about to smoke, whilst I was at university in London. I wondered "Why is he calling 'weed' 'Skunk'?". I tried some, and realised that it was indeed considerably stronger and smellier than anything I had tried before. A few minutes later and for me the word 'Skunk' had already linguistically mutated, forever more to be more associated to a far greater degree with 'cognitive imbalance' than the smelly animal.
skunk
Nowadays in the UK, and other areas in Northern Europe (and probably elsewhere too), 'Skunk' more often than not does not translate as 'any of various common omnivorous black-and-white New World mammals', but it translates as 'strong Cannabis/Marijuana'. This is, for the purists, often a bit upsetting as they know where the name comes from, and they will argue that 'Skunk' is a very specific strain of particularly potent Cannabis known as 'Skunk #1' or its younger (but significantly harder) brother 'Super Skunk' (or indeed any number of other strains).
When we talk about 'Skunk' within this website, we will be using the term as a generic term representing a very strong smoke, sometimes we may want to be more specific and talk about Skunk #1 and Super Skunk in which case we will do just that. Here's a bit about them now...
Skunk #1
There is nothing new about Skunk as it has been on the market for 15 to 20 years, so it is not a new type of "highly mind bending" pot as sometimes portrayed by the media. The original strain of Skunk is called Skunk#1 and was first created in the late 70's in America and had become a standard for indoor growers by the early 80's. Mostly Sativa, Skunk is simply a cross between 3 popular commercial strains; Afghani, Mexican and Thai. The Thai varieties are well known for their strength and high THC levels. Mexican varieties in general tend to grow fast and tall and thrive under less intense light, which makes them suitable for growing under artificial lighting conditions. Afghani plants are early maturing, which means early flowering and therefore a shorter growing time. These varieties when bred together, encourage their individual qualities to be combined in one variety. The resulting cross was called Skunk #1.
Originally grown in California Skunk #1 was developed and enhanced by Cultivators Choice (an American Cannabis-seed company) in 1978 and went on to win the 1st Annual Cannabis Cup in 1988. It is a fast-growing plant with a high THC level and is suitable for indoor growing in poor lighting conditions. Skunk #1 has a well-deserved place in Cannabis history, its hybrids have also won the 2nd, 5th and 7th Cannabis Cups. Height 120-150 cm. Flowering time 7 to 8 weeks. Yield up to 100 gm, up to 500 gr in greenhouse. Harvest outdoor mid October in greenhouse.
Super Skunk
Super Skunk, a hybrid of skunk, clearly defeated Skunk #1 in the 1990 Cannabis Cup. Mostly Indica, this plant was especially developed for Skunk lovers. A cross between the best Skunks and their Afghani ancestors. Brush against this plant and the room becomes immediately filled with powerful Skunk aroma. Despite the smell a very pleasant high with a little more body to it than the Skunk #1. One of the winners of the 1990 High Times Harvest Festival where it clearly defeated Skunk #1. Height 120-150 cm. Flowering time 7 to 8 weeks. Yield up to 125 gr, up to 500 gr in greenhouse. Harvest outdoor mid-October in greenhouse.

Skunk is a strain, and people use that word to identify very pungent smelling weed that smells close to the actual strain. Kind of like how people call all weed with purple in it purple haze.

Fucken hell...
Look, in Australia when you go to a reasonably good dealer to get weed, he will usually sell you hard, dense, beautiful hydro buds which Americans usually describe as "dank" or whatever. If you don't get something like that you find someone else.
You can't really buy "mids" or whatever in Australia. Weed is weed, you don't pay for quality, you pay by weight. You can't set out to buy cheap shitty weed. If your weed is shit it's easy to find someone who has something really good.
You might find someone selling bush weed cheaper, but it's not very common and it's usually almost as good as the hydro, and much cheaper.
The reason Americans have so much slang is because you people pay for different quality weed. I've never bought any buds that looked anything less than a "B" on the "pot or not" cannabis rating scale, even when I was just starting out. I've just never seen shit weed anywhere in Australia.
Ps: I also think one of the reasons why there is so much lame slang on this board is because of how many stupid teenagers hang out on it.

For sure you have a point satricion...but have you thought that maybe in Australia it's alot easier to come by good weed than in America?
Anyway, this thread has really disappointed me-I didn't think there would be so many whining fools on bluelight.
For Fuck's sake...does it matter what words "the americans" or "the europeans" use?

^^^ im not whining at all... in fact ive been laughing for past 5 mins...

haha yeah. I had a good laugh at sonicnature - "I think you're the fucking tosser" - I would've thought the fact that the generic term "skunk" being slang was implicit... going from the title of the thread anyway.
Here in NZ good bud is sometimes referred to as "skunk/skunky", also "good". The act of smoking may be referred to as "smoking" or "seshing". $20 amounts of weed are commonly sold from "tinnie houses", wrapped in aluminium foil. hence "tinnie". of course you can buy other amounts too, usually other drugs as well - mostly P(meth). Like Australians we smoke cones not bowls, smoking using knives and an element is called spotting - the small balls of bud that you smoke being the spots. Bucket bongs are pretty common here, called buckies.

Bomb Chronic- High quality marijuana. Term most used when talking about ANY sack of real good weed
Bud - marijuana
Buddy - a drug dealer
Chronic/Chron - marijuana
Chonger- a larger than average blunt that hits really well
Coco Puff - marijuana laced with crack or cocaine
A Fat Sack - a sack that weighs out to be more than you payed for
Half, Half O - half ounce of marijuana

Indo - marijuana
OZ - ounce of weed
