Dutch slang about weed and jonko

Are you also curious about the secret behind the perfect jonko and joints? Or are you just looking for a little more insight into the world of cannabis and the Dutch slang that has grown up around it? Either way, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we take you on a creative journey through the art and linguistic customs of cannabis in the Netherlands.

The art of jonko and rolling

Let’s get straight to the point: rolling a jonko can still be quite a challenge. We give you the best tips and tricks you need to become a master at clapping and rolling the perfect joint.

It all starts with choosing the right cannabis strain. Will you go for an Indica, Sativa or hybrid strain? Make sure you choose one that suits your tastes and needs. And remember, the quality of the weed ultimately determines the quality of your jonko.

Use the best rolling papers

These days, there are all kinds of varieties on the market. From hemp to unbleached rice sheets, the choice is huge. Take your time to experiment and find out which rolling paper best suits your style.

Now comes the real work: rolling the joint. Make sure you distribute the mix well, avoid too much pressure while rolling and use a tip to create a solid base. Take your time and choose the right weed! For example, will you go for Duct Tape, Banana Sherbet or Bruce Banner?

Dutch slang around cannabis

Besides the art of jonko clapping and rolling, the cannabis world also has its own rich street slang. Rooted in Dutch street culture, this slang offers an interesting glimpse into the subculture of cannabis users.

Doing session

When someone suggests “doing a session”, it simply means they plan to get together and smoke a few joints. It is an informal way of inviting friends over for a chill moment.

You also have the “fishbowl”, which refers to smoking a joint in an enclosed space. The idea is that the smoke lingers like a fishbowl, filling the room with a hint of cannabis smell.

Is there a ‘proper’ way to roll a jonko?

Not really! Everyone has their own techniques and preferences when it comes to rolling joints. The important thing is that you enjoy the process and are satisfied with the result. Our personal favourite is a nice hybrid strain, because we love the balanced effects it offers. But it’s all about personal preference, so mainly experiment for yourself.

Which word from the Dutch slang do you find most fun or intriguing? We are curious! We probably won’t have listed them all, but we know there are a lot of inspiring terms among them.
