Dank

Dank refers to exceptionally high-quality cannabis with a pungent, skunky, aromatic scent implying the buds are fresh, moist, and abundant with resinous trichomes. True dank buds have a sticky texture and pronounced, funky odor from high terpene and cannabinoid concentrations.

Dank entered the cannabis lexicon decades ago to describe especially pungent, potent weed. Skilled growers still strive to cultivate perfectly mature dank buds glistening with trichomes and reeking of terpenes. An adjective like “dank nugs” signals primo quality and strength.

With attentive growing practices and careful curing, any strain can achieve dank status. But appearances deceive - deeply sample the aroma of a jarred nug to truly know if it qualifies as dank.
