Cannabis has its own language. Inside the shop, everything makes perfect sense. Take the same conversation somewhere else, though, and someone may call security.

Here are a few completely normal cannabis-shopping statements that you probably shouldn’t use at the grocery store.

“Do you have anything skunkier?”

At JAM’N? A valid question.

At the pet store? Deeply concerning.

“I’m looking for something really sticky.”

Perfectly reasonable when discussing flower.

Not something you want to hear from the person handling your produce.

“Can I smell that one?”

Normal when checking out a strain.

Less normal when pointing at another shopper’s rotisserie chicken.

“I want something fruity—but not too fruity.”

An important distinction. You want bright, flavorful, maybe a little tropical. You do not want to feel like you’ve been body-slammed by a fruit salad.

“How long does it take to hit?”

A responsible question about edibles.

An alarming question almost everywhere else.

“This one tastes like gas.”

In the cannabis world, that can be a glowing review.

At a restaurant, please stop eating immediately.

“Do you have it in a bigger size?”

Also known as: I have learned from my previous mistakes.

“I only need one.”

The most optimistic sentence ever spoken before adding three more things to the cart.

“Is this good for daytime?”

Totally normal when choosing a product.

A little strange when shopping for socks.

“What are the terps like?”

This is how you casually let everyone know you have evolved beyond choosing products solely because the name made you laugh.

Hello, Space Junky! We liked the name. We did not like feeling like we were eating Pine-Sol. This is why terpenes matter, friends.

Cannabis Has Its Own Language

Whether you’re looking for something fruity, gassy, skunky, relaxing, uplifting, or simply good weed, we understand what you mean—even when you’re not entirely sure how to explain it.

That’s part of the fun.

Stay curious. Stay lifted. Keep JAM’N.
