I live in Massachusetts, and everyone I know refers to good but not GREAT weed as beasters. Usually they're from Canada and have been keefed out for hash already, so they tend to be dry and low in odor. They usually cost around $10 less per 1/8th than Headies but still get you stoned, just without the great taste and aroma.

I'm not saying this is what beasters ARE, but just what I've come to know them as.
