STONER SLANG: "Muggles"

One of the oldest American nicknames for cannabis, muggles dates from the jazz musicians of the '20s and '30s, who spread out New Orleans, bringing new sounds, smokes, and seeds with them as they played gigs all across America. Louis Armstrong and His Orchestra recorded a song titted "Muggles" in Chicago in 1928, almost a decade before federal law outlawed marijuana.
