schwag

Free branded merchandise

Schwag is low-quality marijuana—the cheap, seedy, often dry stuff that serious users avoid.

The term has spread beyond cannabis to mean any inferior goods or freebies: The conference schwag included a cheap tote bag and some pens.

In this promotional-goods sense, it overlaps with swag, though purists maintain schwag implies lower quality.
