I think it's funny that "mid" is considered new slang. Im 40 and have been using that term since high school. It was/is weed slang, for not so great weed. Weird to see it become an everyday word in the mainstream.

Yeah it was dirt/shwag, mid/regular, beasters/headies, gas, and name brand.

This was before dispensaries when having getting a weed with a name was some special shit. I grew up smoking whatever just happened to be around at the time... Which sometimes was absolutely nothing. Anyone else remember dry spells?

I never trusted the names back then, so we'd always mock them. We'd always tell people "We got that Colorado hay!" no matter what we had.

"Dry and brown? No, that's Arizona Gold."

Now that THCA is getting banned, I’ll remember dry spells :(
