What Does Mota Mean?

Mota is one of the many nicknames of our favorite plant. Mota is a Spanish slang word that literally translates as ‘speck’ or ‘mote’ in English. It is most commonly used when describing a tiny amount of cannabis. The word is popular among Latin America and in the southern US states with large Mexican-American populations. Mota can also be used as a fitting abbreviation when talking about the potent cannabis strain called ‘Motavation.’
