With more and more emojis coming out all the time, it can be hard to know which ones we have access to on our phones—even those that have come to represent recreational drugs.

    The maple leaf, long associated with cozy autumn vibes, was also one of the original symbols used to represent cannabis. This connection likely stemmed from the leaf's visual similarity to a marijuana leaf. However, as new cannabis-themed emojis emerged, and many Canadians objected to the maple leaf's drug-related connotation, the symbol's popularity has waned in recent years. [2]

    Positioning the concerned emoji alongside the fire emoji can suggest someone is "lit,” or high. Given the common slang of referring to high-quality marijuana as "fire," the fire emoji can also imply the potency or excellence of the product.
