A slang term for an enthusiast or connoisseur of cannabis — someone who has a genuine appreciation for cannabis culture, strains, or products. Ganja is a widely used informal word for cannabis (from Hindi and Sanskrit), and the -phile suffix indicates a lover or enthusiast. The word is informal and used without particular stigma in cannabis-positive communities.

As a self-described ganjaphile, he could identify a strain by smell alone.
Origin: From ganja (cannabis, from Hindi ganja, from Sanskrit ganjika) plus the Greek -phile (lover of). Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
