kine bud

Empréstimo do inglês. Slang for high-grade marijuana, with 'kine' likely derived from 'kind bud' (sometimes shortened to 'kind' as a quality descriptor, meaning excellent). The term circulates in cannabis culture to indicate top-shelf product -- potent, well-cultivated, and priced accordingly. The spelling varies widely and its origins are somewhat murky, but the meaning is clear within context. The 'kind' etymology is disputed but widely cited.
