The cannabis culture is here to stay. In fact, for more than 50 years now, this urban subculture, illegal until very recently, has taken hold in the Western world.
And if we think about it a little, we can even go back to the 1920s, when the writer Gertrude Stein's companion, Alice B. Toklas, prepared her famous "hashish fudge" and offered it to the talented regulars at her Parisian gatherings, such as Picasso, Hemingway, Sherwood Anderson or Matisse (who were delighted to go and "taste" it).
Belonging to the cannabis culture not only means consuming marijuana, but also knowing the jargon and terms that are commonly used. There are many that coincide with other parts of the world, and there are others that are more our own, more regional.
