What Does “Yart” Mean? TikTok Weed Slang Explained

What does “yart” mean in slang?

“Yart” refers to a marijuana vape cartridge. “Yart” is mainly used on TikTok to refer to marijuana carts without being reprimanded by content moderators. Marijuana cartridges are small glass tubes that contain cannabis oil concentrates. The oil is vaporized instead of burned like flower marijuana, resulting in much less of an odor (and a cleaner hit). The phenomenon of changing words to avoid potential punishment from content moderators is called “algospeak.”

How to Use the “Yart” Slang Term

Use “yart” to playfully refer to your weed cart. If you want to joke about your cart, whether it’s about how you can’t wait to smack it or the discreet places you’ve brought it, use “yart” to add a pinch of humor. It’ll still serve as algospeak and help keep you from getting flagged if you’re joking online, too, giving you the chance to make your yart jokes universal, both online and offline! Example: “This new yart got me moving crazy ????thank you Muha!” Example: “Hellooooo new yart ????” TikTok Example: On July 22, 2025, @user18773918 made a post with a sound of former WWE wrestler Steve Austin talking about how many beers he drank, replacing the beers with the caption “1st hit of the yart, 2nd hit,” and so on. TikTok Example: On May 12, 2025, @devinmontana posted a TikTok of himself bobbing his head, getting stronger as the beat built, with the caption “How music be hitting when u off the yarty.”

Use “yart” to avoid being flagged when talking about your cart online. Whether you’re posting about your cart on TikTok or commenting about it in an Instagram post, use “yart” to avoid being flagged by content moderators. For example, if you’re posting about how strong your cart is, you can say something like “I just smacked the yart and I’m zooted,” or “I just got my hands on a new yart and it’s heat ????✌️.” Example: “What do you think the best yart is? Let me know ????” Example: “Yarts are the craziest type of za idk. They’ll smack you in the face ????” TikTok Example: On July 14, 2025, @accountaltunknown posted a TikTok talking about the three rules of the yart, giving users etiquette tips for hitting other people’s carts while evading a content flag. TikTok Example: On June 23, 2025, @chosenthedonn posted a TikTok comparing carts and flower marijuana, but used the caption “Yart geeked vs Za geeked,” changing cart to yart and weed to za, which is another common nickname.

What is yart face?

Yart face is an exhausted look that’s associated with heavy cart usage. Yart face is characterized by less defined, dehydrated skin, deep eye bags, and less collagen in the skin. Yart face is associated with heavy cart usage, as regular marijuana use can weaken the structural strength of your skin and cause wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and sagging skin.

Signs of Yart Face

Deep eye bags Regular marijuana usage can make you more tired than usual, which quickly shows up in the form of deep, prevalent eye bags. When the skin underneath your eyes is saggy, loose, and has dark circles after you’ve been hitting the Big Chief every day for three months, you may be developing yart face.

Dehydrated skin Vaping is known to dry out your skin, affecting the amount of oxygen and nutrients in your skin. When this loss continues over time, it can lead to chronic dryness, flakiness, broken blood capillaries, and other damage to your skin. So, if you notice that your face is always dry and flaky when it wasn’t before you started smacking yarts, be wary of yart face.

Increased acne Vaping yarts notoriously gives you the munchies, and most people reach for tasty treats that aren't super healthy. Fatty and sugary products, sugary beverages, and milk can lead to increased acne production in adults, so if you’re always sipping on Nesquik Chocolate Milk and snacking on cosmic brownies when you get the munchies, you may be at risk of the increased acne that comes with yart face.

Saggy, undefined skin Due to the collagen damage done by regular cart usage, cart face is known for its saggy, undefined skin. As you lose strength in your face, your features will become less defined, less elastic, and more saggy, dragging your looks down in favor of the yart.

Are yarts safe?

Carts with verified ingredients are safe, but vaping is still a health risk. According to the Medical Director of the Center for Medical Cannabis Education, Jamie Corroon, ND, MPH, “Generally speaking, vaping causes less irritation to the respiratory tract than smoking, but it depends on what is being vaped.” Marijuana vaping is associated with potentially harmful ingredients in the oil, so it’s best to opt for carts that have verified ingredients. Look for carts that have accessible Certificates of Analysis. These carts are typically available at licensed dispensaries. The Certificate of Analysis is located on the product label of your cartridge. Vaping can be dangerous for your lung health, especially when it comes to unregulated street carts. If you aren’t buying from a licensed, reputable dispensary, you’re putting your health and safety at risk. Street carts tend to contain pesticides and additives that are harmful to your health, and in some cases, fatal. Cannabis research scientist and educator, Riley Kirk, PhD, says that if you’re looking to get a lot of THC into your system, instead of smoking a huge joint, which will bring a lot of smoke into your body, you could take a strong hit from a cart.

Other Marijuana Slang Terms

Penjamin Like “yart,” “penjamin" is another way to playfully and discreetly refer to a marijuana cartridge. It combines the word “pen,” which is commonly used to refer to a marijuana cartridge, with “Benjamin,” which is slang for a $100 bill, suggesting that a penjamin is a valuable item.

Zooted “Zooted” is a slang term in the marijuana community that means you’re really high. This is reserved for those times when you smoke and feel like you’re touching the atmosphere. But it isn’t always used to refer to being high. “Zooted” is also used to refer to someone who is super drunk (typically to the point where they can’t walk), albeit not as frequently as its sister meaning.

Munchies “Munchies” is a slang term in the marijuana community that refers to an intensely hungry feeling that typically comes after you smoke. It can also be used to refer to that hungry feeling you get when you’re drunk, but “drunchies” is often used in its place. Aside from that hungry feeling, “munchies” can also be used to refer to snacks that you eat when you’re under the influence.

Zip A “zip” is a slang term for 28 grams (1 oz) of weed. They typically fill a medium-sized zip-lock bag and are a common measurement among stoners. Heavy smokers are typically the most frequent buyers of zips, as they tend to smoke more weed than the average smoker.
