The Ultimate Guide to Cannabis Slang (2024)

The ultimate list of marijuana slang names.

Guide to Marijuana Slang

Marijuana is the most highly used illegal drug consumed in the United States. Young and older adults have tried it at least once in their lifetime. Marijuana has been consumed for centuries by various cultures from around the world.

Currently, over 60% of Americans favor legalizing cannabis in the United States. Because of its widespread popularity, marijuana slang names are abundant. There isn’t another drug with more nicknames than the little miracle plant named cannabis.

Therefore, there is a surprisingly long list of slang names for marijuana, and they vary based on age group and country you live.

A handful of states have already legalized recreational marijuana, and at the time of this writing, 36 states have legalized medical marijuana use with a prescription. Many states have decriminalized it up to a certain amount. However, it may still be a while before America can celebrate federal legalization (fingers crossed).
