Ouid

CBD spelled with cannabis leaves on pink background.

Ouid is a playful slang term used to refer to marijuana or weed in a lighthearted way. The word itself has French origins – it comes from the French word “oui,” meaning “yes.” Oui is pronounced similarly to “wee,” a slang term for weed, so “ouid” evolved as a portmanteau combining the two terms. The word ouid first emerged in the early 2010s and slowly gained traction on social media and internet forums where cannabis culture thrived. Part of its appeal is its innocuous sound – ouid avoids the stigma of words like pot, weed, and grass. The term allows individuals to discuss cannabis casually without serious connotations. Ouid can signal a playful, harmless attitude towards cannabis consumption. Its whimsical sound contributes to marijuana “softening” as legalization spreads. For cannabis enthusiasts wanting a lighthearted way to refer to their hobby, ouid offers a judgement-free slang alternative to other loaded cannabis terminology.
