Creative and descriptive handles on a prominent social media platform associated with cannabis culture serve as a digital identifier. For example, phrases alluding to relaxation, enjoyment, or specific aspects of cannabis use can be incorporated into these account names. These identifiers allow users to express affiliations within the culture.
These expressive handles contribute to community building on social media by making it easier for individuals with shared interests to find and connect with one another. The use of such identifiers also provides a nuanced perspective, portraying cannabis culture beyond stereotypes. Historically, such expressions were limited to physical communities; now, digital spaces offer broader avenues for self-identification.
