Weed, is a popular local English slang for marijuana. Other names include grass, pot, smoke. In Amsterdam you will find the strongest weed in the world, even there is an annual competition to test it: Cannabis Cup. The strongest variants are usually grown with artificial light and ingredients, look for bio variants if you prefer nature. These should be without chemicals; there is never a guarantee though.

Hash, hashish
Is extracted buds from marijana plant that is rich in effective drug – THC. One gram of hash is indeed much more drug than 1 gram of weed. Please check with your preferred coffeshop.

Joint – is rolled cigarette usually tobacco mixed with weed or hash. It is not recommended to smoke local weed pure, because it is rather strong. There are some herbal mixes as alternative to tobacco available in the smart shops.
