In cannabis culture, shwag most often refers to low quality marijuana, generally grown in mass quantities. Shwag typically contains many seeds, which the user must remove, and has a somewhat lower THC content, meaning a larger amount must be smoked to feel high. This is opposed to other, higher quality marijuana such as kindbud or hydro, both of which are much given much more attention during the growing process. They usually lack seeds, and contain a significantly larger THC percentage than shwag.

wikipedia is the shit.

but yeah the main force behind shwag is improper care of the plant, along with it being pollinated. when the bud is forced to make those annoying seeds, it puts all of its energy towards that instead of trichome production. also alot of shwag is improperly dried, which has a major effect on the taste, potency, and smell.

the appearance of shwag may vary, but commonly you'll see a bunch of seeds and stems, the weed may be brown in color, and the smoke will be harsh. i like to call shwag 'blunt weed' cause its gonna take a blunts worth to get you fucked up.

Interesting Fact: weed absent of seeds is called "sensemilla"
