In cannabis culture, shwag, or brown frown, most often refers to low quality marijuana, generally grown in mass quantities. Shwag typically contains many seeds, which the user must remove, and has a somewhat lower THC content, meaning a larger amount must be smoked to feel high. This is opposed to other, higher quality marijuana such as kindbud or hydro, both of which are given much more attention during the growing process. They usually lack seeds, and contain a significantly larger THC percentage than shwag.
Based on the usage in cannabis culture, the term is now used in some contexts to describe things that are unpleasant, unwanted, or subpar. Similarly, the term shwag, along with the term dank, have come to replace the more typical terms "bad" and "good," respectively. The usage of the term is slowly spreading out of cannabis culture and into more mainstream conduits in just the same way that the term "cutting cold turkey" has evolved out of a strictly heroin oriented context and into a context of quitting anything. A typical stoner is also referred to as a "shwagster." In this sense, the term shwag is now a common prefix for any English word, for example shwagtastic or shwag-gina.
Another use of the term is to describe an object that gets in the way of performing a task. In that sense, the word was coined by Roger Houcke, who used it to refer to obstructions on exhaust piping that prevent a muffler from fitting.
In some areas, shwag is known as "regular," or "regs," as opposed to "mids" (mid-grade). You can find quite a bit of "shwag" in Watertown, South Dakota.
If somebody tries to sell you some say 'No' and report them to the police.

average to below-average marijuana which is usually very cheap; shwag is often smuggled in to the USA from Mexico. Many teenagers begin their 'marijuana experience' smoking schwag because it is extremely cheap and very accessible

In terms of marijuana, Shwag (sp?) is really cheap and crappy weed.

I have heard it used in reference to free stuff. For example, I believe a radio station in my area offers "schwag" (i.e. promotional items) to its listeners.
