Nederwiet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nederwiet is a common Dutch name for a "skunk" variation of marijuana bred in the Netherlands[1]. It is known for its high potency,[2] with concentrations of THC running in the tens of percents.[3][4][5] The name is derived from the Dutch word for the Netherlands, Nederland, and the English word 'weed' (pronounced with a short 'ee')[4]
