ent
What does ent mean?
A self-identified member of r/trees, Reddit's main cannabis subreddit. Used as a friendly in-group label — 'fellow ent' rather than stoner. Plays on the Tolkien reference and the sub's accidental name.
"Any fellow ents got a sativa rec that won't put me on the floor?"
Origin
r/trees became Reddit's main cannabis community after r/marijuana was already taken — meaning anyone searching 'trees' got the weed sub instead of actual trees. Members borrowed 'Ent' from Tolkien's tree-people in The Lord of the Rings as their self-name, and r/Entwives spun off as the women's counterpart.
