About

Sometimes That Midpack Be Hittin' Doe is a catchphrase used in ironic stoner memes to defend the smoking of mid- or low-grade weed, joking that it "hits good" sometimes. The phrase was first used in a 2017 meme using imagery from the TV show Maury where a man is accused of lying about "smoking loud." The meme became an exploitable over the following years, with the phrase popularized on its own in addition to being applied to various image macros and formats.

Origin

On December 21st, 2017, Redditor slammingcon138 posted a meme to /r/weed^[1] consisting of four photoshopped images from an episode of Maury. In the first panel, Maury reads lie detector results accusing the guest of lying about smoking loud, revealing he only smokes mid. A woman yells "I told you he be smoking on dat bullshit Maury" as Maury looks distressed, followed by the accused captioned, "Sometimes that Mid Pack be hittin Doe." The post gained roughly 39 upvotes in six months (shown below). The /r/weed^[2] user 808sandbeefsteaks reposted the meme with different cropping on February 18th, 2018, gaining roughly 135 upvotes in six months.
