There is no standard system in place for grading marijuana quality, so it’s often hard to tell the difference between someones ‘good’ weed and another person’s good weed. There are various categorical names for grading marijuana quality on the street, and unless you buy marijuana often it is quite easy to get turned upside down in the world of marijuana quality and grades.
This list goes from lowest quality to the highest quality marijuana:
- Schwag, Dirt weed, Bobby brown, Catnip, Brick weed- The lowest grade of marijuana available. It has very low potency and quality, due to its either harvested too late or too early in the growing cycle. Schwag is often poorly cured and poorly treated low grade marijuana that is often dry typically brown, or green/brown and has loads of seeds and stems. It is compacted/flattened and smells bad. Majority of schwag is associated with marijuana coming from Mexico pressed into bricks for easy transportation across the border. Schwag is very cheap (ounce for less than $50), and you have to smoke much more to get as high as higher potency marijuana.
- Reg, Regs, Reggies, Regular weed,Regular bud- This is a step above schwag, though some higher quality schwag could be considered reg marijuana and vice versa. It depends on who you talk to. Regs is regular bud that you can usually find pretty much anywhere for a decent price, about $5 a gram. Reggies are usually green, but it doesn’t have any THC crystals, or anything that makes it look too beautiful, but it’ll get you higher than the schwag. Regs give off that typical marijuana odor, nothing too good, but it doesn’t smell bad Reggies usually has lots of seeds and stems as well, you won’t get a headache from smoking regs.
- Mids, Middies, High Mids, Low Mids- Mids is a step above the regs, usually low mids are a little bit above regular bud, and can overlap. Mids will definitely get you higher and usually cost a little more, but they also look better, a brighter more greenish plant and were handled a lot better than schwag and regs. Mids still have seeds and stems, but not as much as schwags and regs, a lot of high mids that I can get usually have very few seeds and stems, and are often nugs from the marijuana branch. High mids are usually a pretty good value for the high you get, at around $7.5 a gram high mids can get you pretty high, and usually smell really good for what you pay for.
- Beasters, Fire Mids, Kind Bud- Beasters is some pretty dank bud, the next step above high mids, beasters are also called fire mids. Usually have some good looking buds with some dark green and bright green colors. Usually have red or orange hairs, and contains no seeds, this marijuana smells good and fresh, sometimes it is still a little damp from being harvested. Usually comes in dense nuggets, sometimes can be fluffy nugs though. Costs a bit more than high mids, probably around $10 a gram, but if you know the right people you could get a quarter for about $40/$45.
- Dro, hydroponic, baby dro, chronic- Dro is home grown hydroponic marijuana, it grows much faster and of higher potency because of the hydroponics. Come in dense or fluffy bright green nuggets with hair visible, and THC crystals abound. Usually have hardly any or no seeds. Dro is a step below headies and usually cost around $20 a gram, $15 a gram if you have a good dealer. Dro smells good and is dank weed, it can get your room smelling like weed in a couple of minutes. You can probably smell it from all the way across the room when it’s still in the bag.
- Headies, Heads, medical marijuana, strains like purple haze, white widow, kush, etc- Headies are usually the named strains that you all those medical marijuana smokers smoking on tv and in the documentaries, they are brand name headies and you get what you pay for, usually $20-$35 a gram. They have beautiful colors, often blues, purples, greens, and have an amazing smell. THC crystals are just glistening off headies, and they’re usually very sticky from the resin. Some are developed for certain characteristics like pain relief, depression, and anxiety. Headies is the kind of marijuana that has been selectively grown for decades to get the most THC and the best quality marijuana out there.
As you can tell there are a variety of marijuana qualities and grades, and it takes some time to become familiar with them all, usually when buying on the street you learn from trial and error, because unless someone knows exactly what kind of strain your headies marijuana is. There is no way to tell unless you have a geneticist check out the DNA, sure you can guess, but there’s no 100% surefire way.

chicago suburbs and our levels are shitty weed (dont even know where to get it but Ive seen it), then regs/mids (use them interchangably) and they cost $10/g with good bulk dicounts, then good/dank regs which are too good to just call regs but not quite up to the next level and this also costs $10/g with the same discounts (i usually get dank regs but sometimes my guy cant get it so thats when I get just regs). The last level is dank/great/crazy. This costs $20/g and cant usually get discounts cuz I dont go to my regular guy for this, but if he has it I can get discounts. The highest level has a lot of variation in quality but those are the prices unles you get some amazingly mind blowing stuff and that will cost more but that is rare.
You guys are lucky, over here in the east coast everythings so expensive. Usually 10 a gram for shit 20 for good quality. 50-70 for an eighth. 100-120for a quarter. 200 for a half. and 44 for a full ounce.
