Would You Smoke Michael Phelps?

If you can’t judge a book by its cover, can you judge a strain of weed by its name? Well, that depends.

If there is one characteristic stoners have, it’s that we can be very, very creative when it comes to choosing names for the weed we smoke up. There are hundreds upon hundreds of nicknames for strains of cannabis, and while some of them can be relatively tame (say, Nothern Lights), some of them sound as if Willy Wonka himself came up with the name (Shishkaberry). But, a few of our favorite strains go above and beyond and ditch the colorful, fruitful names for ones that evoke shock and vulgarity. And hey, at least for some of them, the strain is just as interesting as the name.

So, let’s take a stroll through some of the weirdest names for weed out there. Let us know if you had the pleasure of toking up with any of these innovative strains, and if the name matches up with the flavor.
