Boon.
when my wife or I asked each other if we want to go out for a smoke, we call it a "poof"
Dank.
I usually call it "pot," but then multiple people said I sound like an old person, so now I don't know what I'm supposed to say. I guess I'll start calling it "dope."
Electric lettuce
Weed.
Gotta stick with the classics.
I try to avoid terms that demonize or leads to alluding to war on drugs.
So the only correct term, is cannabis.
I don’t call my kids or my adhd meds meth, speed, amphetamines, etc. so I refuse to acknowledge the same for this medicine.
I respect that. What about "traditional" names like ganja?

In french, the most common name is probably "beu" which is a contraction of "beuher" which is verlan (a type of slang where you reverse the word) for "herbe".
This was distorted in a movie to "beuze" , which was then given the verlan treatment again (this happens often) to "zeb", hence my personal favorite "zebuline". Mind you, that's not a common name that's a personal one I use often.
We had Mama Cahuna for a while when I was little, has a fun ring to it imo.
Jazz cabbage or the Devil’s lettuce
Devil's lettuce, Mary Jane and "marahuana" (in the Hank Hill voice) are probably my favorites that immediately come to mind
sticky icky in hank hill voice is pretty fun
The Sticky Icky
jk that stuff does not exist anymore. Just this dessicated prepackaged nonsense.
When we were youths, I read the Beatles had a code phrase, something like let's have a laugh(?). Then, a friend and I were laughing a little too much when we saw Joe Walsh's record titled Got Any Gum? That became our code phrase.
that stuff does not exist anymore
Lies! You just need to grow it yourself or make friends with a grower. I live in a legal state and have two great dispensaries in my town, but I still frequent a few local growers more often since it's cheaper and better!
Herb or flower
Wacky tobacky
Ganj
I used to call it kale for a while
That's an insult to weed man.
Sounds like you don’t have an adventurous palate 😁
I was juicing kale for a while.. It tasted like bitter stagnant mud.
I wouldn’t juice that shit. I love it in salads and soups. The texture makes it.
I mostly use cannabis, especially if I'm taking about cbd, cbn, cbg. Often weed if i mean thc.

Weed, herb, or pot. In order of frequency.
Occasionally the more fun names like devils lettuce and wacky tobacky haha
Kush is my most frequent, but jazz cabbage is probably my favorite
Not sure of its origin, but it's been called Bubatz in Germany for a couple years now, so I sometimes, mostly jokingly, say Bubatz. My SO and I usually say Bubert because couples speak or Weedle like the Pokemon because 'weed'
Favorite word is a better question but in common speech I'll generally just say weed.
Mary Juana
Jive Parsley & Cabbage
I like dope because of the ambiguity.
Gigglebush
Flower
Dank
ott
Boof
Probably jazz cabbage or the Devil's lettuce.
Weed or cabbage.
