Other - Spanish - Marijuana: Mota or Molta?

[Euthanatos93420]

I always thought it was Molta (For Marijuana). But upon reading the lyrics of a song I always thought was about marijuana it was written mota. Babelfish says "mota" Means 'speck' so I'm assuming it's a slang or that babelfish couldn't be bothered to include anything relative to drugs (as I tried several variations).

I believe mota is the slang term and marihuana is the spanish word for marijuana.

Cannabis, hachis

It's mota as for as I know but marijuana is a spanish word that is accented so some people will call it mota and others will pronounce an accented marijuana

Swim learned from his Mexican friend that quality marijuana is "kokito de chongo" or "mierda de mono." It literally translates to "monkey shit."

Swim would like to add:

This slang term used to refer to low to normal quality cannabis, mainly from Latin America and some parts of South America. Over the years, and the normal evolution of language, it has evolved to represent a synonym for marijuana in the slang of most Spanish speaking countries.

side-question- is "un porro" or "el porro" common in latin-america for a joint ?

edit-- i search-engined it and apparently more common words seem to be carrujo canuto churro and pito.

Swim's amigo calls it a pito. Sorry it doesn't really answer your question.

"Porro" indeed means a joint, but its use comes from, and is more commonly heard in Spain, although it has become part of the spanish 420 culture slang, recognized worldwide. Also, it is Swims experience that most people using the term "porro" combine it with tobacco products. The word comes from the spanish word "porrazo" meaning a strong sudden hit.

The words "carrujo, canuto, churro" tend to be reginal bounded, and are not widely used. "Pito", on the contrary shares the same qualities as the slang term "porro", but of a smaller size and not particularly containing tabacco.
