MARIJUANA CIGARETTE Meaning and
Definition
-
A marijuana cigarette, also commonly referred to as a joint or a spliff, is a type of rolled cigarette primarily composed of the leaves, flowers, and stems of the Cannabis sativa plant. It is typically used for recreational purposes due to the psychoactive effects induced by the chemical compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) found in the cannabis plant.
Marijuana cigarettes are rolled by hand, employing thin paper designed specifically for this purpose. The cannabis material is finely ground and then carefully distributed evenly along the length of the paper. The filled paper is rolled into a cylindrical shape, often sealed with a twist or lick to maintain its structure. The resulting joint is then ready to be smoked.
The consumption of a marijuana cigarette involves lighting one end with fire, producing smoke that is inhaled through the other end. As the heated smoke passes through the joint, THC is released from the cannabis material and absorbed into the bloodstream via the lungs. This intake method leads to the desired psychoactive effects, such as euphoria, relaxation, altered perception of time, and increased sensory sensitivity.
The term "marijuana cigarette" encompasses the combination of cannabis material and the specific rolling technique used to create the joint. It remains one of the most traditional and popular means of consuming cannabis recreationally, with varying social and legal acceptances worldwide.

Etymology of MARIJUANA CIGARETTE
The word "marijuana cigarette" is a compound term that combines "marijuana" and "cigarette".
The term "marijuana" is derived from the Spanish word "marihuana". It is believed to have originated from the Mexican Spanish "marihuana" or "marijhuana", which in turn came from the Nahuatl (Aztec language) word "mallihuan" or "malihuan" meaning "intoxicating plants". The use of marijuana as a recreational drug became more widespread in the United States during the early 20th century, particularly associated with Mexican immigrants, which influenced the adoption of the Spanish-derived term.
The word "cigarette" comes from the French word "cigarette", a diminutive form of "cigare".
