Given the alleged change in attitude towards cannabis, how long do you reckon it'll take for the advertising bods to catch on? Dope references in adverts anyone?
I know of one that's already running but I'm not sure it was intentional.

Well there's already been sweets called 'Munchies' on the shelves for years. But you're right - there must be plenty of scope for chocolate advertising for stoneys in petrol stations etc.

Wow Janet and Henry, i've been a smokin a good 10 year and never came across those names! I must includethem in my vocabulary.
Our codenanes in scotland are a lot less subtle. The only amount that I use a code for is an OZ or ozzy (predictably an ounce) the rest are teenth (1/16) half Q and Q (1/8 and 1/4) the only other is a bar (9-bar or 9 ounces ~250g or 1/2 Lb) *not* that I have ever purchaced that much! (honest!).

Mandy's are just slang for downers as far as I know.
As the Ian Dury song goes
'Another thing with Sandy...

Was passing her a mandy
She didn't 'arf go bandy'
