All Known Marijuana Related Twitter #HashTags

A List Of All Known Related Twitter HashTags , Or at least all the ones i could find. If you know of some more that i didn’t mention here please feel free to tell us about it in a comment below.
A hashtag is a way to tag your tweets on twitter, you can make any word or letters a hashtag by simply putting a “#” (Pound Sign without the quotes) in front of it. exp: – say you want to ask the world “what country grows the dankest bud?” so you type that in and press send, only your followers will see this and maybe some of them don’t know what “dank” or “bud” means. that’s where hastags come in, you place a few at the end of your tweet to kind of categorize your tweet and make it more search-able.
Exp: what country grows the dankest bud? #marijuana #Gardening #420
Now if there are people out there searching twitter for #420 then they will see your tweet regardless if there following you or not, also you can click on a hashtag to show all the recent tweets that included that same hashtag.

#Marijuana, #Cannabis, #Hemp, #Pot, #Weed, #kush, #dank , #Nug & #Bud

#420

420 Usually represents general cannabis culture and can be used to tag random tweets, quotes, songs etc. It can also be used to tag tweets on or around 4:20. On April 20th, it became the first (and I believe only) related “Trending Topic” (most popular word or phrase) on Twitter.

#MMOT ( Movement on Twitter)

The MMOT tag was started by @StonerNation and has became one of the more popular hashtags used. Like #420, it can be applied to just about any type of message and is used to target a specific group of users.

#WeedSmokersUnite
This tag is new to me but from what i can tell you use this when you want to say something thats “sticking it to the man” Here is an example ( @darkskin: Ayy, #Shoutout to D.A.R.E .. them niggas is the DEVIL…Im glad I ignored they ass cause I love blazing. #WeedSmokersUnite )
#BecauseofWeed
This tag should be self explanatory but ill give you an example just in case :   #becauseofweed People get along better with each other
#WakeAndBake
This is a hashtag that i was just recently made aware of but i already like using it. This hashtag is actually used quite a bit, im surprised i haven’t seen it yet. You use this tag to describe what your doing during a “wake and Bake” session.
#LoudPack                               ( Source: @MisterMaryJane )
Use this HashTag when discussing Any type of weed that is very strong smelling. If it is that smelly it is loud. Many hip-hop emcees from the south use the term. I like using it because not very many people use the term or know what I mean, unitl I explain it to them.
#TwitterBowl
I don’t think this one started out as a related tag but it is used a lot for that purpose now. You use #TwitterBowl as a symbole for an actual bowl of some dank you might be smoking or even want to pass to a friend or follower on twitter
#Reup
This one is obvious, you use this hashtag when your talking about getting a new bag of bud :)
#420FollowBack
This is a great hash tag to use if your trying to get followers that are “420 friendly”. What you do is, follow anyone who uses this hashtag and they will follow you back
#BurnOne
Use this twitter hashtag to let someone know your going to go and blaze or any other reason you can think of to use “BURN ONE” lol. This hashtag is actually used more than you might think
