The Marijuana Language

Damn aliens.

Weedists use a wide array of slang and colloquialism to talk about what we do, and what we call our weed.

This marijuana language is a unique feature of the cannabis subculture, and over the next few weeks I will explore the particular “dialect” I have learned (and continue to learn) in my marijuana upbringing.

I define these words by how I learned them, so your definitions may be slightly different.

Some of the first words I learned are cashed, salad bowl, and spliff.

1. Cashed
adjective
a bowl, joint, bong, or other utensil in which all the marijuana has been smoked, leaving only ash: “This bowl is cashed. I’ll pack another.”
Synonyms: K-fed, Done-zo, Killed

2. Salad Bowl
noun
a bowl that contains marijuana from multiple sources, that is, several people throwing in: “There’s eight of us smoking? Shit, alright everyone pitch in and we’ll make a salad bowl.”

3. Spliff
noun
a joint or hollowed out cigarette that is then rolled with tobacco and marijuana: “I’ll get cigarettes and roll some spliffs so we can smoke at the concert” “Dude, hell yeah”

Are any of these words in your dialect? If you have any synonyms, drop a comment!
