I used to live in NorCal for school. It would always be a battle because I'd go up there with SoCal slang, adopt NorCal slang, come back to SoCal and everyone would shun me for picking up the NorCal slang. I think the biggest issue was my consistent use of the word "hella".
Bay Area isn't too bad for Cannabis though! My school paper up there often had INSANE amounts of clinic ads. More than usual.
