Cannabis is one of those things that invites a lot of jokes, even dating back to its early days, where the word “hashish” means “grass” in Arabic. Here we explore the world of weed-related puns and see what’s clever, what’s common, and what’s funny.

Cannabis Puns
It seems like one cannot do anything related to cannabis without at least hearing one or two puns or innuendos about it. Here at Growers Network, things are no different. During our traverses throughout the internet, we have come across a surprising number of puns (which we kept a record of!) and wanted to rank them by their quality. Stay tuned to the end for suggestions on how to make your own cannabis puns.
The Good
I call these the “good” puns because they’re clever and they don’t make you grown groan. The pun and/or the name is memorable, and you just can’t help but smile when you read these. So, without further ado, here’s some of the more clever ones I’ve seen:
The Bad
I describe these puns as bad, not because they’re not clever or not interesting in their own right, but because they either make you groan or don’t get any reaction at all due to how common or specific they are. Frequent flyers include derivations upon “Mary Jane” or marijuana.
The Funny
These puns go beyond the simple “aha! That’s clever!” straight into laughing. Whoever came up with these may or may not have had THC in their system when they came up with them, but they were good with words.
Making Your Own
There’s a lot of potential jokes and puns to be made about cannabis. Most of these words fall into specific categories, so here’s a table of potential words you can use to make your own puns:
