15 Weird and Funny Names for Weed Strains

Did you know that as of June 2018, medical marijuana is now legal in 30 states? Thanks to Oklahoma for rounding that number out for us.

Nine other states take it one step further, legalizing recreational use for anyone over the age of 21. That’s right: if you have a valid ID, you can partake without a doctor’s permission! It’s like buying alcohol, but somehow cooler.

Sounds intriguing, right?

Once you’re there, you’ll realize the variety of marijuana is astounding. And they’ve all got titles to match. Chances are if you’ve thought it, it’s the name of a strain out there.

All the funny names for weed ensure that your experience is going to be an enjoyable one. After all, you’re giggling before you even take one hit off of a Fighting Buddha joint.

Sit back, relax, and smoke a little, if you can. Then prepare to laugh your way through this list!

1. El Chapo OG

Let’s start this list off on a hard note.

The guys who named this strain named it after an infamous drug lord. And not any old drug lord. This dealer was head of one of the most powerful drug-trafficking organizations ever.

Marijuana has common associations: peace, love, hippies. So how did El Chapo make the list? Seems like he had different priorities.

He could’ve used a joint or two of his namesake strain.

2. Conspiracy Kush

Conspiracy Kush is the not-as-well-known relative of the OG Kush.

We can imagine the stories behind the naming of this strain. A cerebral high with creative thinking qualities and BAM! Conspiracies abound.

Its grandfather, the OG Kush, has gone through its fair shares of conspiracies. Most of them concern the evolution of its name.

One popular myth is that OG stands for “Ocean Grown.” Legend has it that a man got some weed to smoke. The messenger told him, “Try out this sick mountain grown Kush!”

But he knew the difference. Recognizing the scent of his own product, he corrected the messenger. He let him know that no – it was in fact grown by the oceans of California.

Other theories guess OG to mean “Original Gangster” or “OverGrown.” And over time, there have been many Kush names: Bubba; Alien; Ancient; Blue. You name it.

Regardless, phenotypes of this Kush strain are still plentiful as ever. And sought after hard for their complex, hybrid qualities.

3. Girl Scout Cookies

Not to be mistaken for the boxes that arrive a few weeks after some Girl Scouts knock on your front door.

Or is it?

This strain smells like the classic, crisp Thin Mints. If that’s appealing to you, see what the fuss is about. The deep aromas and purple hues are captivating for new and longtime smokers alike.

Some dispensaries are shortening the name to GSC, so keep a lookout for both.

4. Cat Piss

Cat piss doesn’t sound appealing to the average person, per se. But when it comes to marijuana? Cat Piss is a good thing.

5. Buddha’s Sister

A quick Google search will show you lots of weed, but not a lot of people. Which tells us that Buddha’s sister may have been Mary Jane herself.

6. Brainwreck

Don’t confuse this one with the greater-known strain, Trainwreck. Brainwreck is the offspring of the similarly-named strain.

That happens a lot in this industry. Strains get bred. Before you know it, your one marijuana prototype has four different identities. This offers so much variety in the complex flavors, effects, and aromas.

7. Beastmode 2.0

Best follows Beastmode 1.0.

8. Dirty Old Bastard

Do you like the rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard?

Then your brain might trick you into buying this Indica strain because of the title alone. But that’s fine. It’s named after him!

9. Blucifer

This one was obviously named after a Denver, Colorado local.

Blucifer is the nickname of a 32-foot statue of a blue Mustang horse. In 2008, the Denver Airport put the statue up. But it didn’t come without a little pushback or at least a creepy nickname.

In 2006, while it was being made, a piece of the statue fell on top of its artist, Luis Jimenez. Jimenez ultimately died after suffering from a severed artery in his leg.

Tragic, and strange. But the statue went up anyway two years later. And once weed became legal, a strain took the name of this creature.

10. Obama Kush

There’s a big trend in many weed strain names. Sometimes all it takes is the name of a person, followed by the word Kush or OG. Obama didn’t fall by the wayside here.

We’re not surprised President Obama’s name made the list. He has admitted to partaking in the popular pasttime.

President Bill Clinton was once asked if he smoked weed. He admitted he had, “but didn’t inhale.” But, Obama has no problem admitting that he inhaled!

“That was the point,” after all. Well, he’s kind of right.

It didn’t seem to affect his political career much. And in fact, support for legalization only went up in 2017 with a 64% acceptance rate. Even Republicans are making their support known to the public.

We imagine that Obama might be happy to hear his name is being used in this fashion.

11. Donkey Killer

It’s like a horse tranquilizer. . . or not. Which means we as humans are good.

12. Frosty Jesus

This guy is sparkly and God-like. Or so the name suggests.

Sometimes, you have to believe the guys who named these strains kept it simple. Like, “Oh, hey, that’s a frosty-lookin’ nug!” And a name was born.

13. F**king Incredible

The same rule applies here! This weed is just too incredible to not don the name F**king Incredible.

Sometimes, keeping it simple is the way to go. If a dispensary needs to sell some weed, this name might appeal to more folks than Cat Piss would. Unless you’re in the know, of course.

14. Gandalf OG

Want to become wise, magical, and mysterious?

Well that’s on you.

But taking a puff of the Indica Gandalf OG might help you get there.

15. Heisenberg Kush

Weed strains love a name-drop. Many a celebrity or infamous person has become the namesake for a marijuana plant. Breaking Bad’s meth cooker, Heisenberg, is no exception.

El Chapo. Heisenberg. They may have run in different circles than your average weed smokers, but they’ve gone down in weed history forever.

What’s In a Name?

Well, a lot!

A name can have quite a bit of influence on us as consumers and potential buyers. We may or may not buy something based on subconscious thoughts that reside deep within us. Thoughts and feelings that develop over time whether we realize it or not.

If a strain name is made-up, consumers begin with a fresh slate. They’ll develop their own positive or negative connotations depending on their situation. Something like Bubblicious may not give you any specific type of feeling, because it’s funny and organic and not in the dictionary.

So, say a strain is made up of actual words? Such as Black Cheese or Blue Alien?

Well, then the influence runs deep. If you’re allergic to dairy, you might steer clear of strain names that include the word “cheese.” If you’re a big fan of extraterrestrial life, you may go right for any strains containing the word “alien.”

The awesome thing about these funny names for marijuana? There seems to be no cap. Take one strain, breed it with another, and voila! You’ve got a new strain to name.

And no matter which one you choose, the medicinal qualities will be there. Let Cannabisy tell you all about it.

Try to make some of your own names! Here are some fun examples. Plug in words of your choice where you see quotations.

• “Color” + “Name of Infamous Figure”
• “Color” + “Food Name” + Kush
• Bubba + “Funny Made-up Word” + OG
• “Celebrity Name” Haze
• “Type of Berry” + Alien + Haze
• “Name of Your Dog” + Kush

You get the idea.

If all else fails, KISS, or Keep It Simple Stupid. Instead of F**king Incredible, you could have a Hecking Gnarly strain, too.
