"Dank" - Hate It Or Love It?

[Liquidtruth]

I personally hate the term "dank" when referring to weed, it always brings to mind images of mold-infested-smelly weed. Who the hell would want to smoke something like that? Why did people start using that word to describe a level of cannabis quality? And, most importantly, am I alone in my hatred of this term?

Sorry if this thread seems pointless (though I am generally interested), it is 4:58 AM and I have not gotten high all day, which incidentally means that I have not slept all night, and I am bored.

I 100% agree with you, Dank sounds like slang for Vulgar in my ears.

Further evidence that I am not alone!

I never really liked the term but through so many people using it around me it slips out, I use it when I deal with certain people otherwise they look at you like "huh"


Either way the term don't bother me at all

Until I came here and poked around for awhile I had no idea what the term meant. I am sure there are some who would automatically know it was damn good, but people who are unfamiliar with the slang (probably more of those) will fall back on their English skills and believe you are talking about some shitty-ass weed.

dank is a word people who know nothing about herb use.

[TheHempress]

To be honest, I hardly use it because I don't like how it feels in my mouth (yeah, weird, I know), but I don't mind if other people use it.

[xericx]

I'v never used it myself, but I dont really care that other use it. I just call it weed, dope or chron.

Are you saying that as a complement or an insult?

I like dank because in reality it is unique to marijuana. I mean, how often do you hear people using it in the literal sense? I'd bet a good majority of people, non-stoners especially don't even know what it's literal meaning is. We all know what the word means and it strikes a very profound subliminal chord deep inside our minds. It's high quality potent cannabis that makes the word dank what it is, not a sound or a meaning.

I never knew dank was the most common term used to describe good herb until I started posting on here. I knew anout the term dank, but being from Florida all we used was Crip (or Rip if we felt like mixin' it up, haha.) Unless it was some "name brand" shit.
