Gules, from base a dank weed slipped Argent, fructed Or, on a chief Azure filleted Argent, around two keys per saltire as many fleur-de-lis Or

"Dank weed," huh?

This has been killing me since you posted it Mike!  Here’s my best guess:

I know the meaning of this. Someone roll up this shield so I can smoke it more closely. Then I will have a better sense of its true nature.
