Reefer was common in the early twentieth century, but it is now often used only humorously, often in reference to the 1930s propaganda film Reefer Madness, which significantly misrepresented the effects of cannabis. Terms also from this time period are: mex, mezz, muggles, gage, jive, viper, spinach...

Cannabis Potency
Death Weed refers to extremely potent Cannabis. This term walks the thin line between having its own distinct meaning in trade jargon and being a slang term for "stuff that's even more killer than The Kill".
The Kill also refers to highly potent Cannabis, though not necessarily as potent as "The Death Weed".
Chronic refers to Cannabis which is highly potent but not unusually so. In other words, the highest quality one can find on a semi-regular basis for roughly the same cost as mid-grade Cannabis. In many regional jargons this term is given a more specific meaning, however these are far too numerous to list here.
Bud simply refers to the buds of the Cannabis plant. Bud may be high or low quality depending on several factors. Contrary to popular belief, marijuana leaves are usually not smoked (unless covered in resin from nearby buds, though such leaves are usually used for hashish production), rather it is actually the buds which are smoked. The buds of unpollinated female plants are preferred because these plants will focus their energy on resin production in order to catch pollen from the male plants (this resin is the only part of the plant which contains any usuable quantities of psychoactive chemicals).
Shake is specifically the debris that shakes loose from brick or bagged marijuana. While it can have high potency, it is generally considered less desireable as its dust-like properties make it difficult to smoke.
Kind (a.k.a. kind bud or simply kb) refers to sinsemilla (from Spanish, meaning "without seed") marijuana of high quality.
Schwag refers to low-quality bud. Often dry and brownish in color rather than lush and green (however, looks can be deceiving). This is also called "brown frown".
Dirt Weed (or Bush Buds) often refers to brown, withered looking buds which are usually impotent, although potent "dirt weed" is not completely unheard of. This term is seldom used synonymously with "outdoor" (see below).
Dank high quality marijuana.
Street Weed Low potency marijuana, comes from the implication that people selling weed on the street's to all comers are selling low-grade, mass-produced marijuana as opposed to high-quality product.
Kansas Catnip A term for low-grade marijuana which often pervades areas of the Midwest where a high presence and popularity of Methamphetamine keeps all but the cheapest varieties of marijuana nearly non-existent.
