In the ever-evolving lexicon of social media, particularly on platforms like TikTok which are known for their short-form video content, new slang terms frequently blossom. One such term that has rooted itself deeply within the cannabis community is "gardening". This term, seemingly innocuous, has sprouted as a clever euphemism for experiencing the highs of cannabis. At Ethereal Gold Dispensary, we've observed how this term enriches conversations — especially around cannabis-infused products like the increasingly popular THC-infused beverages.
The Rise of "Gardening" on Social Media
"Gardening" has become the go-to slang on social media platforms to describe the act of consuming cannabis — particularly in contexts where direct references to cannabis could be penalized due to stringent platform regulations. This code word helps creators and enthusiasts share their experiences without triggering censorship alarms.
For example, you could say "here is a great new drink recipe to try for your next 'gardening' session". This is popular trend being used by cannabis-infused drink companies quite frequently on social media apps.
In similar suit the term "garden" would refer to the place where you consume the cannabis, and you the consumers of said cannabis are the "gardener(s)".
The Appeal of Cannabis-Infused Beverages
Among the myriad of ways to enjoy cannabis, THC-infused beverages stand out — particularly those offered by brands like Nowadays. These products are celebrated for their ability to provide a potent THC buzz in a refreshing form factor, making them an excellent alternative for those looking to replace alcohol in their social and relaxation rituals.
Why "Gardening"?
The term "gardening" not only evokes a sense of growth and natural bliss, but also stems from the need to navigate the complex landscape of social media advertising. Despite the federal legality of cannabis under the 2018 Farm Bill, companies like Ethereal Gold Dispensary and Nowadays face considerable challenges in promoting their products. The use of euphemisms like "gardening" allows for creative expression and promotion while adhering to the strict guidelines imposed by social media platforms.
