Plug

In cannabis culture, “plug” is slang terminology for any dealer, supplier, broker, or distributor who provides a steady hookup source to acquire marijuana from. The term plug became popular vernacular in rap, hip hop, and trap music as a reference for any drug dealer or supplier.

Calling someone a plug positively implies they reliably maintain inventory on hand while ensuring quality and consistency too. In legal markets, plugs may supply premium exotic strains, novel products, or large wholesale quantities that standard retail dispensaries don't normally carry due to lack of production volume or legal risk.

Underground illicit market plugs are valued for moving weight while circumventing purchase limits, avoiding sales taxes, and providing clients flexible arrangements. In small communities, home growers gift overages harvested as their own form of friendly plug. Overall, plugs provide the personalized service of a dealer with the convenience of a retail shop.
