Dank is a slang term used to describe fragrant and high-quality cannabis. It describes the pungent, moist, and humid characteristics of cannabis that make it excellent. This also presupposes that the plant is filled with terpenes and trichomes and is resinous, making it a top-tier product for users. This term dates back to Scandinavian and Middle English origins, wherein ‘dank’ as an adjective described a wet and musty place. Because of this, the term evolved and was used to make memes about anything aside from marijuana. Other forms of cannabis can also be described as dank such as topicals, vape pens, and edibles.
