The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Good to Know Colorado campaign endeavors to educate folks about the effects of marijuana - though the focus is typically on its dangers.

For instance, Good to Know's latest effort sketches out the risks of cannabis use by pregnant and breastfeeding women.

But the CDPHE-blessed item that recently caught our eye appears under the umbrella category "Marijuana 101" - specifically, the slang terms for marijuana that parents should know before talking with their kids.

The site lists seventeen nicknames for cannabis - many in common usage, some seriously out of date, and others that are apt to make the average teen burst into laughter upon hearing his/her folks say them during a serious sit-down about the plant.

See the seventeen terms below:

  • Number 1: Weed
  • Number 2: Pot
  • Number 3: Ganja
  • Number 4: Bud
  • Number 5: MJ
  • Number 6: Keef
  • Number 7: Boom
  • Number 8: Skunk
  • Number 9: Gangster
  • Number 10: Herb
  • Number 11: Mary Jane
  • Number 12: Trees
  • Number 13: Joint
  • Number 14: Reefer
  • Number 15: Dank
  • Number 16: Dank Krippy
  • Number 17: Purp
