Ever blaze up some fire, only to be left scratching your head, wondering what the heck the name even *means*? I’m talking about those strain names that just don’t make a lick of sense. I’m Chapo, and if you’ve seen my content, you know I sometimes make up silly names for the green, just for a laugh. But in the *real* world, these names are getting out of hand!
I’m currently wrestling with two prime examples. Buckle up, stoners, because this is gonna be a wild ride.
Yacht Z: High-Class or High-diculous?
First, we’ve got “Yacht Z” by Mister Gelati. Okay, I get it. Yacht, with a “Z” thrown on the end to make it sound, I don’t know, *zesty*? It’s your standard Z genetics, a little sherbetty, overall a pleasant experience. But what does it *mean*? Is it supposed to make me feel like I’m cruising the Mediterranean on a billionaire’s yacht? I certainly *wish* it came with a trust fund!
But hold on to your hats, folks, because it gets weirder…
Neck Bones: What the Cluck?!
Then there’s “Neck Bones,” a collab between Ted’s Buds and Goonies & Be Legit. Seriously? *Neck Bones*? I ain’t even mad, I’m just confused. I gotta give credit where it’s due, though. This strain smells absolutely phenomenal. Sweet, fluorescent, that candy type of aroma just punches you in the face. The flavor is banging.
But *what the actual fuck is “Neck Bones” supposed to represent*? Seriously, someone explain this to me!
The Good Old Days of Food-Themed Weed
Remember the glory days, when the flavor revolution first hit the streets? Back then, nearly every strain was named after a food. Strawberry Cough, Blueberry, Grape Ape – they all made sense! They represented the flavor profile, plain and simple. Now it seems like growers are pulling names out of their, well, you know…
*But Chapo, does it really matter what they’re called?* Yes! Because it’s a great opportunity to educate smokers about the lineage, the flavor profiles, and most importantly, what kind of high you can expect.
The Problem with Nonsense Names
Yahtzee, I can *almost* get behind that. At least it has a picture of a boat with a “Z” on it. But “Neck Bones”? It’s just an insult! What am I supposed to do with that?
Here’s why this matters:
- Confusion: Makes it harder to remember strains.
- Misinformation: Doesn’t tell you anything about the flavor or effects.
- Missed Opportunity: Fails to connect with smokers on a deeper level.
And the crazy thing is, “Neck Bones” is actually *good*! It’s like naming a masterpiece painting “Dust Bunny #7.” It does a disservice to the grower. The whole situation just pisses me off!
So, What’s the Solution?
I’m not saying every strain name needs to be “Strawberry Diesel.” But can we at least try to make a little bit of sense? If it smells like candy, name it something candy-related! If it gives you the munchies, allude to a snack food!
Let’s go back to the roots, literally and figuratively. As stoners, we deserve strain names that are informative, imaginative, and, dare I say, *delicious*. I think it’s time for the cannabis community to come together and demand better.
I have a simple request to all the growers: Before you roll out a new strain with a completely nonsensical name, take a step back and ask yourself, “What the fuck does this even mean?”
Because I’m all about expanding your knowledge. Check out this resource to better understand the different strains of weed, and their names. Strain Identification
Until then, I’ll keep smoking my “Neck Bones” and wondering what culinary delight inspired such a bizarre moniker. Stay blazed, my friends!
