wacky tabaccy

Slang for pot

Wacky tabaccy is a jokey euphemism for marijuana, playing on the rhyme with tobacco.

The spelling varies: wacky tobaccy, wacky tabacky.

The term sounds deliberately corny, often used by older speakers or ironically by younger ones: Grandpa asked if we were smoking the wacky tabaccy.
